DETROIT, L. & N. RAILROAD CO. vs. CIRCUIT JUDGE (Genesee),
61 M., 33.

Opinion:
To compel the dissolution of an injunction.
Denied April 15, 1886.
Held, that a mandamus to disturb action by a circuit judge in equity can only issue upon some exigency requiring prompt action to prevent mischief; and so long as the law is open, the court is not called upon to use its extraordinary powers to assist private redress of supposed wrong's.
