GAINES, Chief Justice.

This is a motion to file a petition for the writ of mandamus against the judges of the Court of Civil Appeals for the Third Supreme Judicial District to compel them to certify a dissent in a certain cause decided in that court in which the relator was appellant and the Austin & Northwestern Eailroad Company was appellee. The allegations of the petition show that the judgment was affirmed, that one of the judges dissented from the conclusion upon which the affirmance was based, and that counsel for the petitioner moved the court to certify the question of dissent.
