The supreme court having jurisdiction to review on appeal decisions of the district courts in habeas corpus proceedings (In re Jennings, 46 Idaho 142, 267 P. 227) will not exercise its power (Const., art. 5, sec. 9; C. S., sec. 9275) to grant an original writ of habeas corpus except in extraordinary cases. (In re Burnette, 73 Kan. 609, 85 P. 575; Ex parteShaw, 7 Ohio St. 81, 70 Am.
