<p>In a proceeding in prohibition, wherein a District Judge had been ruled to show cause why the execution of an order should not be restrained for want of jurisdiction,-a request was made on the return day, by the persons interested in upholding the order, that a return tendered by them be accepted as the return to the rule and that they be treated as the respondents. Held, that the judge is the essential-party respondent and the request must therefore be denied.</p> <p>No return having been made by the respondent on the return day, the time for his return is, under the circumstances, extended.</p>
