Head Matter:
WALSH v. ST. CLAIR CIRCUIT JUDGE.
Mandamus — Procedure.
Questions arising during the course of a proceeding will not be reviewed on mandamus, at least where the decision of the lower court was not made on the merits after full consideration, but for the sole purpose of obtaining a ruling by the Supreme Court,
Joseph Walsh, assistant prosecuting attorney for St. ■Clair county, applied for a writ of mandamus to compel :Samuel W. Vance, circuit judge of said county, to vacate an order sustaining certain objections to the petition of the auditor general for the sale of lands delinquent for taxes.
Submitted October 24,1895.
Order to show cause denied October 25, 1895.
Joseph Walsh, in pro. per.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
In this matter it appears upon the face of the application that the court, " for the purpose of having the determination by the Supreme Court," held the objections made to the proceedings good. The court should have passed upon each of the points raised upon its merits. The questions suggested are mure properly reviewable on appeal, and the court below should have regarded the matter in that light. In any event, we do not feel called upon to review questions arising during the course of a proceeding, at least until the final judgment of the court below has been given after full consideration.
The application will therefore be denied.
