¶1By the Court,
¶2This application is without precedent; and the motion is denied on the ground that the writ of prohibition will not lie, any more than mandamus, for the purpose of reviewing a decision of an inferior court because it is erroneous.

Ex parte Gordon
Decided January 15, 1842
New York Supreme Court · decided 1842-01-15
An appeal having been taken to the Chenango common pleas from a justice’s judgment, the appellee moved in that court to quash the appeal, on the ground of divers alleged irregularities. The common pleas denied the motion. This court was now moved in behalf of the appellee, (Gordon,) for a writ of prohibition, forbidding all further proceedings in the court of common pleas.
