2. ““The lawmaking power of this state has spoken in emphatic language. This language must be obeyed. The reason for the limitation placed upon the power to issue this writ, if reason need to be sought, is apparent in this case. The court of exclusive original jurisdiction was proceeding with dispatch in the usual and ordinary course by law provided to give the petitioner a speedy trial. If, as he contends, the ordinance under which he was arrested is unconstitutional and void, it will be presumed that the court wherein his case was pending will so hold, and should the court err in its ruling the petitioner has his right of appeal for the correction of errors until this court is reached.” (p. 854.)”
