Opinions

[292]*292Black, J.

The plaintiff widow sues for wrongful death of her husband, alleging liability of the city and 18 Detroit police officers “upon the theory that they [the police officers] had negligently and carelessly exerted unnecessary force in effectuating the arrest of the deceased, as a result of which serious injury, ultimately causing his. death, were inflicted.”' Detroit moved to dismiss, alleging immunity from liability. Circuit Judge Culehan granted the motion. Plaintiff appeals.

The cause of action having arisen May 6, 1958, I would affirm, without costs. For reasons see my separate opinion of Williams v. City of Detroit, 364 Mich 231, 270.
