This was the proper course, and if the appellant was not in laches, the certiorari would issue. Owens v. Phelps, 91 N. C., 253; Pittman v. Kimberly, 92 N. C., 562. In such case, as the trial Judge ( His Honor Judge Graves) has since died, a new trial would be ordered. State v. Parks, 107 N. C., 821; Brendle v. Reeves, 115 N. C., 552. But in the present case, the appellant does not negative laches. It appears that after the disagreement about settling the case, the appellant did not immediately request the Judge to settle the case as required by section 550 of The Code, but delayed for several weeks to do so. This forfeits his claim to a certiorari for the reasons given in Simmons v. Andrews, 106 N. C., 201. An inspection of the record shows no errors of which the appellant can complain, and the judgment must be affirmed.\nAffirmed.",
