WILLIS ET AL. v. DUN, ADMINISTRATOR.
    Ceitiorari — court can only look to the record — writ quashed.
    The Supreme Court can only act upon what appears upon the record returned with a certiorari and if the record discloses nothing for the court to act upon, it will dismiss the writ of certiorari.
    Certiorari. It was claimed that pending a controversy among the heirs of Robert Willis, the Common Pleas appointed Dun administrator. Dun was not of kin, and not entitled to administration. After the controversy was ended, application was made to rescind the appointment of Dun, and call in the letters of administration, which application was’ overruled. To reverse that overruling order this certiorari is brought.
   By the Court.

There is nothing on this record but the motion to rescind, and the order of the court overruling it. The grounds of the motion, or order, or appointment of the administrator, is nowhere disclosed. As there is nothing for the court to act upon, the writ is quashed.
