Rule on Smith, Judge of the Court of Probates of the parish of Jefferson, to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued, commanding him to homologate the proceedings of a family meeting,
1Opinion of the CourtBullard, J.
The rule in this case must be discharged. The Judge of the Court of Probates has rendered a judgment, refusing to homologate the proceedings of a family-meeting. We cannot, by mandamus, order him to reverse his own judgment and give a different one, because we cannot enforce such an order.
Rule discharged.
