Head Matter:
Porter et al. v. Garrett & Co.
Where the record of a case is too defectivo to justify-a decision, the court will order a certiorari to perfect it, without a motion from counsel.
Error, to Henry District Court.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The transcript in this case, as certified by the clerk, contains only the orders made jn the district court. It is so defective, that we cannot, with a proper regard to the rights of parties, entertain jurisdiction, nor decide the questions involved, without a more complete record. We have therefore concluded to order a writ of certiorari to the clerk of the district court of Henry county, to send up a full transcript of the record and proceedings in this case.
