#### Ernest N. Braucher, Appellee, v. Board of Examiners of Architects of the State of Illinois, Appellant.

Gen. No. 23,106. (Not to be reported in full.)

Abstract of the Decision.

1. Certiorari, § 47 * —what considered, on return to common-taw writ of. On a return to the common-law writ of certiorari, the court does not consider or weigh the evidence but examines the record solely for the purpose of inquiring, first, whether the inferior tribunal has exceeded its jurisdiction, and, second, whether it has proceeded illegally.

2. Architects and engineers, § la*—when citation in proceeding to revolee architect’s certificate is insufficient. A citation issued in *456a proceeding to revoke an architect’s license on the grounds of gross incompetency in the construction of buildings and of dishonest practices as a licensed architect is insufficient where it sets forth that the incompetency was ill connection with the sale of four sets of plans of two buildings, but affirmatively alleges that he did not draw the plans and did not supervise the drawing, and fails to allege that he approved them, while it does allege that he knew that the plans were improperly and insufficiently drawn for the purposes for which they were intended.

*455Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Oscar M. Toebison, Judge, presiding.

Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1917.

Mr. Justice Matchett

delivered the opinion of the court.

*4563. Architects and engineers, § la * —what does not constitute dishonest practice 6y architect. A single transaction, although consisting of the sale of four sets of plans of two buildings, does not constitute “dishonest practices’’ within the meaning of the Architects’ Licensing Act (J. & A. K 484).

4. Architects and engineers, § la*—when citation in proceeding to revolee architect’s license is insufficient. A citation issued in a proceeding to revoke an architect’s license for “dishonest practices” is insufficient where it fails either to allege a fraudulent intent on his part or to set up facts from which such fraudulent intent may be inferred.
