People ex rel. Jones v. Judge of Kent Circuit
Opinion of the Court
The application for a mandamus in this case is denied without an examination of the merits, for the reason that there is no return of the circuit judge showing upon what papers the transfer of the case from the circuit to the superior court was made. We are unwilling to decide cases upon such imperfect records, when our action would be equivalent to a review of the rulings of another court without knowing what that court based its action upon.
