review the action of the commission in ordering the
two companies to make scent transfer rate be-
tween the north and south lines of the Metro
politan and the seth street cr0sstown line Of the
Central Park company. Argument the motion
was heard by Justices Patterson Mclaughlin,

served.

the writ was rarte proceeding in which the
commission had no voice. In view of the impor-
tance to the public Of the issues involved he said
the commission had decided to bring the matter
direct TO the Appellate Division The commission
now asked that the writ be quashed. on the ground
that IL was not the proper proceeding to secure a
review Of the commissions action. ard that if al
lowed. Ii would mean great delay
Mr.. Semple said that the commission did not IA Ike
the view that its action was not renewable bv the
courts. but simply held that the method under dis
cussion was not the proper proceeding to obtain a
court review He added that the United States
Supreme Court had held that a proceeding In
equity to restain the commission from enforcin-
held. he said. in the sO-cent gas case
Justice Houghton asked what redress A defend
ant corporation would have against an order of the
commission enforceable by severe penalties Mr.
eemple replied that the Public Service Commissions
law provides that penalties shall not apply for a
period during which the defendant is maintaining
an action to set aside order of the commission
Robert {. Beatty, Of counsel for the Metropoli-
tan receivers. said that while there was no direct
provision for court review in the Public Service
commissions law the right to have such 4 review
was recognized. Summed up. Mr.. Beatty's arg1I-
ment was that certiorar proceeding was the
proper way to review action by a judicial or
mi-judicial body that the Public Service Commits
sion took testimony. weighed evidence and issued
orders on that evidence. and that therefore il was
sezni-Judicial body and its acts properly
renewable by the writ of certiorarf.

viewable by certiorari and quoted the decision of
Judge Cullen. of the Court of Appeals the Sara
