To compel respondent to vacate an order requiring relator, upon the submission of a bill of exceptions on appeal, to procure from the stenographer and furnish counsel for appellee in the suit, a copy of a portion of the testimony taken on the trial, to enable him to prepare amendments to the bill of exceptions.

Denied October 22, 1895, without costs.
