We have carefuly examined the assignments of error, and find nothing which, in our opinion, would justify a reversal of this case. It is our opinion, upon the facts as disclosed, that the issuance of the writ was within the sound discretion of the trial court, and no reason now appears why that discretion should here be disturbed.

The judgment appealed from is affirmed.

POLLEY, P.J., and CAMPBELL, ROBERTS, WARREN, and RUDOLPH, JJ., concur.
