That tbe order of tbe county court changing the -venue 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 debate, 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 course, that order, when made, was beyond the jurisdiction 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'ever, was not done, but the record was allowed to be physically -transmitted to, and entered in, the circuit court, so that affirmative action became necessary to secure its remand to the •court from which it had been improperly sent. In that situation, application for such affirmative action was made, and was simply refused by the circuit court; The present writ seeks merely to review the action of the circuit court in refusing such application. That must be denied, for two entirely sufficient reasons: Eirst. That the only relief possible to accord on certiorari, namely, reversal of the order complained of, would be futile and ineffectual, and this court will not allow litigants to invoke its superintending power over inferior courts when nothing practical can be accomplished 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 court can compel •the granting of any such order is mandamus. The situation
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.
