In the Matter of the Application of Lorenzo C. Carlino for a Prohibition Order against Thomas Downs, Judge of the County Court of the County of Queens.—

Opinion:

In our opinion, the commitment already made and any resettled or amended commitment may be reviewed by certiorari. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Young, Kapper, Tompkins and Davis, JJ.
