Head Matter:
Wayne Circuit.
Ex Parte Abraham George.
Capias ad res — Habeas corpus — Courts Interfering with Tribunals of concurrent Jurisdiction.
One court should not entertain questions arising in another court of equal and concurrent jurisdiction.
George petitioned the Wayne Circuit for release on wilt of habeas corpus. He had been arrested on a writ of capias ad res., issued in and of the Superior Court, the Judge of that court — Cochrane—having endorsed on said writ an order to hold defendant George to bail.
C L. 1871, secs. 5786 and 5787.
Afterwards Judge Cochrane over-ruled a motion to admit George to common bail.
(April, 1874.)

Opinion:
By the Court,
Papchin, J.:
Petitioner's claim for release is based on an alleged insufficiency in the affidavit for the writ of capias in the Superior Court.
That court having passed on the same question now raised, I am clear that this court should not interfere.
