TIBBETTS et al. v. CAMPBELL, Judge.
    No. 13,996;
    September 5, 1891.
    27 Pac. 531.
    Mandamus to Judge.—Mandamus will not Lie to Compel the sustaining of a motion for judgment made by petitioner in an action in the trial court, and to permit him to prove certain allegations of his complaint, appeal being the proper remedy, if such rulings be erroneous.
    
    Application by Tibbetts and others for mandamus to compel John L. Campbell, judge of the superior court, to receive certain evidence in a pending suit. Writ denied.
    Luther C. Tibbetts for petitioners.
    
      
      Cited in a note in 98 Am. St. Rep. 902, on when mandamus is the proper remedy against public officers.
    
   PER CURIAM.

The affidavit in this case does not state facts sufficient to entitle the petitioners to a writ of mandate directing the respondent to do any of the things which it is alleged that he has refused to do. The overruling of petitioners’ motion for a judgment in their favor in the case of Tibbetts et al. v. The Riverside Banking Company et al., and the refusal to allow the plaintiffs therein to prove certain matters alleged in their complaint, were decisions of questions of law arising during the trial. If there was any error in such rulings, the petitioners were afforded a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy by an appeal from the final judgment rendered in the action. Application for writ denied.
