Syllabus

<p>Certiorari — Proceedings—Record—Time for Return — Haches. Certiorari to review a judgment of the superior court will he dismissed for want of due diligence in prosecution, where the record was not certified for more than two months after the time fixed therefor in the writ, no application for an extension was asked until nearly one month after the time had expired, and no appearance was made at the date set for considering the extension of time, but a return made sixteen days thereafter without leave; since the return is necessary to confer jurisdiction, and Bal. Code, § 5744, provides that the court shall fix the time, which thereupon becomes the law of the case.</p>
