The State v. The Judge of the Court of Probates of Jefferson.
    Where a Judge of Probates has tendered a judgment refusing to homologate the proceedings of a family meeting, he cannot be compelled by mandamus to do so.
    Rule on Smith, Judge of the Court of Probates of the parish of Jefferson, to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued, commanding him to homologate the proceedings of a family meeting,
    
      Labarre, for the plaintiff in the rulé.
   Bullard, J.

The rule in this case must be discharged. The Judge of the Court of Probates has rendered a judgment, refusing to homologate the proceedings of a family-meeting. We cannot, by mandamus, order him to reverse his own judgment and give a different one, because we cannot enforce such an order.

Rule discharged.
