Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Walter S. Ward for a Prohibition Order against Joseph Morschauser, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

Opinion:
Application for alternative writ of prohibition denied, in the exercise of our discretion. The facts presented are insufficient to justify the issuance of the writ. It should be granted only in eases of extreme necessity, and where no other remedy can be had. Should these proceedings here complained of lead to the petitioner's arrest, the law affords him ample protection. (People ex rel. Livingston v. Wyatt, 186 N. Y. 383; People ex rel. Childs v.
