    STATEMENT OP THE CASE.
    Emilia Jiminez and Felicia Garriga Brenes made an application for a writ of mandamus to be directed to the judge of the District Court of Ouayama to compel him to act according to the provisions of the Mortgage Law and its Regulations in the proceedings in an action pending in said court involving the foreclosure of a mortgage.
    
      Mr. Dias Navarro for applicant.
   Opinion of

Mr. Justice Figueras.

The writ of mandamus is a highly privileged remedy which does not lie when, as in this case, the parties interested can enforce their rights in some other manner.

In view of the provisions of the act of the Legislative Assembly, approved March 12, 1903, the second subdivision of article 170 and article 176 of the Regulations for the execution of the Mortgage Law, and section 295 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the writ of mandamus applied for is hereby denied.
