ATTORNEY GENERAL vs. POLICE JUSTICE (Detroit),
41 M., 224.

Opinion:
To compel respondent to entertain a complaint for a fraudulent disposition of real estate.
Denied June 18, 1879.
Held, that Compiled Laws, Sec. 7191, applies only to a disposal of such property as is capable of removal and concealment, and that the Attorney General is not a proper relator in proceedings before the justice, where the crime charged is an offense against individual interests, and not concerning the State or the general security.
