St Clair coanty. In aid of the construction of a railroad, Issued a large amount of bonds aad when these became due the county aoaght to evade payment and to have the courts Invalidate them. The Judgment against the county, aggregatlas more than 1200.000. however, were Issued la the United States court. The county fought on, adopting every legal device to defeat the enforcement of the Judgment and the case has been la the courts In some form until about two years ago. when United States Judge Phillips, at the instance of one of the judgment creditors, issued a writ of mandamus directing the coun ty to levy a tax for the partial pay ment of the Indebtedness. The Judges refused to obey the suadate. holding: that the bonds had been Ille gally issued. Then came the order of arrest aad commitment for contempt of court. The Judges evaded the federal coart Ulcers, who sought to serve the writs .on commitment, hiding la the woods and other places. Meanwhile the county courts were not held, criminals were untried, civil cases could aot be 'beard, the county roads and bridges fell Into decay and other business commonly transacted by the county court was wholly neglected.

In denying their application Judge Sanborn declines to enter into the snerits of the orlgiaal controversy as to the legality of the boads, aad holds that a writ of habeas corpus cannot be made to perform the office of a writ of error, as it is available only when a prisoner is Illegally restrained by a court without power to make an order for contempt.
