State ex rel. Hinchey v. Allyn

34 P. 914, 7 Wash. 285, 1893 Wash. LEXIS 139

Opinions

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Stiles, J.

A judge of the superior court whose term of office expired on the second Monday of January, 1893, cannot be required- by mandamus to settle and certify a statement of facts on appeal after the expiration of his term. The act of January 21,1893 (Laws, p. 6), does not purport to do more than to authorize the ex-judges to settle- and certify, it does not, and could not, require them to do anything.

The application for a writ in this case is, therefore, denied.

Dunbar, C. J., and Hoyt, J., concur.

Scott, J., concurs in the result.
