Opinion of the court by
CHIEF JUSTICE PAYNTERgranting the writ.
On an appeal wherein Mattie Baxter and others were appellants, 'and the plaintiff, N. R. Christie, appellee, a judgment was rendered by this court in favor of the plaintiff, N. R. Christie, against Mattie Baxter and others for •costs, which .amounted to $84.30, $73.30 of which was-clerk’s fees. An execution was issued on the judgment for costs, and placed in the hands of the sheriff of Marion county; whereupon the defendants in the execution filed a suit in the Marion Circuit Court, in which an injunction was obtained, enjoining the sheriff from collecting the same, upon the ground that it embraced costs to which the clerk of this court was not entitled. The defendant, Charles Patteson, judge of the Marion Circuit Court, is of the opinion that he has jurisdiction of the case, and the authority to perpetuate the injunction, if he is of the *865opinion that the clerk has included in the taxation of costs- items which should not be collected of the defendant. A writ of prohibition is sought against Judge Patteson to prevent him from hearing and determining the questions raised in that action.
If there was an error in the taxation of costs, this court has full power to correct it, and fix the amount for which an execution shall issue on the judgment for costs. It would lead to an absurdity to hold that a circuit court has power to correct a taxation made in this court. If the circuit court can do so where the amount is over $50, then, where the amount is less than $50, a justice of the peace -would have the power to correct the taxation of costs of this court as completely as the circuit court would have if the amount was over $50. If the clerk of this court commits an error in the taxation of costs, and issues an execution for an excessive amount, the party complaining can have the question summarily disposed of on a motion to correct the1 taxation of costs-. This remedy is so speedy that no injury could possibly be produced in awaiting the action of the court. If a case should arise wherein injury would result before the motion to correct the taxation of costs could be disposed of, this court has full power to make such an order as it thinks proper to protect the rights of a defendant in an execution. Under section 285, Civ. Code Prac., it is provided that “an injunction to stay proceedings on a judgment shall not be granted in an action brought by the party seeking the injunction, in any other court than that in which the judgment was rendered.” It will be observed that under this section the court below7 is prohibited from granting an injunction in a case like this, and, of course, is denied the power to perpetuate one if it has been granted. In *866our opinion, the court is proceeding without its jurisdiction, because (1) the court below has no power to revise a taxation of costs in this court; (2) it has no authority to grant an injunction enjoining a judgment of this court. It is no longer ian open question that this court has authority to issue a writ of prohibition in a proper case. Section 110 of the Constitution reads as follows: “. . . siaid court shall have power to issue such writs as may be necessary to give it a general control of inferior jurisdictions.” In Hindman v. Toney, 97 Ky., 413 (17 R., 286) (30 S. W., 1006), this court construed section 110 of the Constitution, and held that it was intended to give to the court of appeals plenary power to issue writs in every case when necessary to give it general control of inferior jurisdictions. In that case this court directed a writ of prohibition to be issued which prohibited the judge from passing on any motion or taking jurisdiction in any case pending in another court. In our opinion, the writ of prohibition should be issued.
