      A. Everett Ball and Clinton C. Tripp, for Petitioners.
    
      Edward R. Taylor, Wilson & Wilson, Mastick, Belcher & Mastick, and Morrison, Stratton & Foerster, for Respondent.
   The Court.

This is a petition for a writ of mandate to compel the respondent to settle what is claimed to be a bill of exceptions. We agree with the respondent that the instrument submitted does not show an attempt to present such a fair and bona fide statement of the case as entitles it to be considered and settled as a bill of exceptions.

The prayer of the petitioner is denied, and the petition dismissed.
