RETURN TO A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ISSUED BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE IN CHAMBERS, AGAINST THOMAS G. FULLER, JUDGE OF THE PROBATE COURT,MONTSERRADO COUNTY.

[January Term, A. D. 1880.]

This writ was issued on application of Messrs. Belgrave & Grimes, commanding the said judge to admit to probation a certain deed of partnership, or show cause to the contrary, at the present term of this court. In compliance with this mandate the judge has made a return showing cause for his refusal to admit the deed to probate.

On a careful review of the cause of complaint as set forth in the application, and the reasons for refusal, as appear in the returns, we have failed to discover reason or legal support of the position assumed by the complainants in their application to set aside the return of the judge. Consequently, under such circumstances the court will not award a peremptory mandamus upon the judge of the said Probate Court to admit to probate the aforesaid deed of partnership.
