Original proceeding by the State, on the relation of Max Harris, relator, for writ of prohibition to be directed to J. W. Galloway, Justice of the Peace in Sparta Township, to prohibit respondent from further proceeding in a preliminary hearing against relator on a charge of statutory rape.

Omer E. Brown, of Ozark, for relator.

Galloway, a justice of the peace of Sparta township, in Christian county, which township does not join Finley township, and the relator was compelled to enter into a bond for his appearance before J.
