Prescott vs. Carter.
    Where the record of a certiorari ease showed that the petition was sanctioned by the judge of another circuit than that in which the case was pending, but did not show that the judge of the latter circuit was absent therefrom, but, upon a subsequent motion to dismiss the writ on that ground before the resident judge, he certified that he had, in fact, been absent and overruled the motion, such ruling was not error.
    (a.) This case differs from that in 67 Qa., 246. That was an injunction case in which the absence of the resident judge did not appear in any way.
    (5.) The case of a certiorari does not stand alone on the general provisions of §§247, 248 of the Code, but on §§4051, 4052, which do not require that the authority, when thus exercised, should show the grounds therefor.
    Judgment affirmed.
    .October 20, 1885.
   Jackson, Chief Justice.
