Petitioner prays that we issue an alternative writ of mandamus directed to the Clerk of the Clark Circuit Court. Under § 4 of Article 7 of the Constitution of Indiana, we only have "such original jurisdiction as the General Assembly may confer." By § 3-2201, Burns' 1946 Replacement, our jurisdiction is limited to issuing writs of mandamus to the courts therein named. We have no jurisdiction to issue a writ to a clerk of a trial court.

Petition denied.
