OPINION

SPRINGER, Justice:

These two appeals are from orders granting writs of habeas corpus releasing respondents Hatch and Anderson from custody and dismissing criminal prosecutions against them. Writs were granted on the ground that the justice's courts had "erred" in granting discretionary continuance of a preliminary examination (Hatch) and of a misdemeanor trial (Anderson). The writs will be quashed.
