This is a petition for mandamus to direct the judge of the trial court to show cause why he should not be required to sign a bill- of exceptions complaining of the same judgment which was complained of by the same party in a previous bill of exceptions, the previous bill of exceptions (after being certified and filed in the office of the clerk -of this court) having been withdrawn (by permission of this court) by the plaintiff in error before the second bill of exceptions was tendered to the judge— the tender being made within the time prescribed by law. Counsel for petitioner in his brief concedes “that when a trial judge certifies to one bill of exceptions, he loses his jurisdiction of the case until the higher tribunal disposes of the case one way or the other. It is likewise conceded that during this time the lower court has no jurisdiction whatsoever with reference to the case; but there is altogether a different situation, in so far as the jurisdiction of the lower court is concerned, when the higher court disposes of the case, either by withdrawal, dismissal, or otherwise. When this is done by the higher tribunal, then the case is remitted back to the lower court for action.” In other words, counsel contends that when a bill of exceptions is withdrawn or dismissed, there is no
Mandamus nisi denied.
