• 7 Cal. 113

Syllabus

<p>The power to grant a ferry-license is not judicial, and its exercise properly belongs to the supervisors.</p> <p>The exercise of such a power by a County Judge, is, therefore, an excess of jurisdiction, which can be properly reviewed on certiorari.</p> <p>It is not necessary to the exercise of the power to review, that the Court issuing the writ of certiorari should possess appellate jurisdiction, and the writ may issue from a District Court to a County Judge.</p>
