McEnery, J.
This proceeding invokes the supervisory jurisdiction of this court to annul a judgment in the court of the respondent magistrate for three dollars.
The complaint is that there was no evidence introduced by plaintiff to sustain his demand.
The record discloses that the case was regularly called for trial, the plaintiff and defendant both represented by counsel; the" case tried, argued by counsel and submitted. The record appears to be regular, and there is nothing in the record that calls for the exercise-of the supervisory jurisdiction of this court. State ex rel.
