Tompkins was defendant, on which a verdict and judgment was rendered for the plaintiff. It also appears from the petition that that cause is not before this court by either appeal or writ of error.\nThis is a proceeding for mandamus to compel the county judge of Wayne County to sign and seal a bill of exceptions in the case of Gerry v. Tompkins. That cause not now pending in this court for any purpose, on the authority of Hawes, Judge, v. The People, etc., 124 Ill. 560, it must be held that this court has no jurisdiction in an original action of mandamus. This court can only issue the writ of mandamus where it would be in aid of the appellate jurisdiction of this court. The petition was filed and appearance entered without leave of court. That is not in accordance with the practice in the Appellate or Supreme Court. Hawkins et al. v. Harding, 35 Ill. App. 25; The People ex rel. Cunningham v. Thistlewood, 103 Ill. 139. The motion for mandamus must be denied.\nMotion denied.",
