the trial after an arraignment upon the information in a court possessing full jurisdiction over the subject matter and over the person of the accused. The ruling of the District Court in such a case may be correct or it may be erroneous. In either event, from the nature of the case, the authority to rule is unassailable.
The question of practice presented by the record is decisive against the prayer of the petitioner, but we have deemed the case to be one of unusual practical importance, considered with reference to the prosecution of offenders by information, and as the questions involved have never before been presented to this court, we have conceived it to be important to pass upon the merits as well as upon the practice question. The writ is discharged, and the prisoner remanded. All concur.
