Summary
In State ex rel. Barnes v. Superior Court, 96 Wn. 581, 165 P. 493, the same rule was apparently applied to a writ of certiorari, though by reason of the holding that the complaining party had a statutory right to make application for an additional bond, etc., which would accord full relief without either appeal or an extraordinary writ, the force of the decision as an authority here is but doubtful at the best.
