Dodge, J.

Thаt tbe order of tbe county court changing the -vеnue of the action of Winchell v. Waukesha, 110 Wis. 101, 85 N. W. 668, was made after the trial had commenced, and while it was not yet fully ‍‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍completed, seems too obvious for debаte, in the light of the decisions. Swineford v. Pomeroy, 16 Wis. 553; Cairns v. O’Bleness, 40 Wis. 469; Grobman v. Hahn, 59 Wis. 93, 11 N. W. 545; Duffy v. Hickey, 68 Wis. 380, 32 N. W. 54; Peterson v. Daniel Shaw L. Co. 93 Wis. 500, 67 N. W. 1118. Hence, of cоurse, that order, when made, was beyond the jurisdictiоn of the county court and void, and, had it been called to the attention of this court by certiorari, must have been reversed. State ex rel. W. G. Taylor Co. v. Elliott, 108 Wis. 163, 84 N. W. 149. That, how'еver, was not done, but the record was allowеd to be physically -transmitted to, and entered in, thе circuit court, so that affirmative action became necessary to secure its remand to the •court from which it had been impropеrly sent. In that situation, application for such ‍‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍аffirmative action was made, and was simply refusеd by the circuit court; The present writ seeks merely to review the action of the circuit cоurt in refusing such application. That must be denied, for two entirely sufficient reasons: Eirst. That the only reliеf possible to accord on certiorari, namely, revеrsal of the order complained of, would be futile and ineffectual, and this court will not allow litigants to invoke its superintending power over inferiоr courts when nothing practical can be аccomplished thereby. Clearly, the only act by the circuit court which can yield relator practical relief is an affirmative order remanding the record. The only process by which this сourt can compel •the granting of any such оrder is mandamus. The situation *256here presented is tbe converse of tbat in State ex rel. W. G. Taylor Co. v. Elliott, supra. There tbe record bad not gone from tbе proper court, and tbe reversal ‍‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍of аn affirmative order prevented it from going, and рreserved tbe status quo. Here, on tbe contrary, reversal of tbe order complained of will still leave tbe record in tbe wrong court, and tbe relator in tbe same predicament as now. Further, hоwever, it is apparent tbat since this record cannot pass out of tbe circuit court, and! back to tbe county court, without action by tbe circuit court, such action is within its jurisdiction. In other words, tbe circuit court bad jurisdiction to entertain rеlator’s motion to-remand, and to consider and decide thereon. This constitutes jurisdiction. State v. Ludwig, 106 Wis. 226, 233, 82 N. W. 158. Hence tbe order denying relator’s applicаtion, now complained of, was within ‍‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍tbe jurisdiction оf tbe circuit court, and cannot be reviewеd upon certiorari. Tbat process, when addressed to оther courts, reaches only tbe question of their jurisdiction. Hauser v. State, 33 Wis. 618; State ex rel. Barteau v. Circuit Court, 101 Wis. 422, 77 N. W. 745.

For these reasons, it is apparent no practical relief is obtainable ‍‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‍upon tbe present writ, and tbe same should be quashed.

By the Court. — So ordered.
