Head Matter:
In the Matter of Morris C. Smith.

Opinion:
If it were to be permitted to do so, the Supreme Court would be exercising an appellate jurisdiction with which it has not been endowed; and it would, therefore, be assuming to act without or beyond its jurisdiction. Such a threatened act may properly be restrained by an order of prohibition, which furnishes the only efficacious and complete remedy for such an attempted usurpation of power. [See post, p. 868.]
