Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

Civil Code (1910), § 5398. The issue having been properly submitted to a jury, and there being evidence to authorize the verdict rendered, it was not error .for the judge of the superior court, upon the petition for .certiorari and the answel thereto, to overrule the certiorari.

Judgment affirmed.
