School District—Mandamus—Parties.—A school district may be properly joined as a defendant in a proceeding in mandamus against its-officials to compel the performance of a duty owed to the relator.

Id.—Audited Claim—Order for Requisition.—After the board of education of a city has properly audited and allowed a claim against a school district, mandamus will lie to compel it to draw an order on the county school superintendent for a requisition for its payment.

Id.—Hearing—Motion to Strike Out—Bill of Exceptions—Appeal.— A motion to strike out part of a complaint, and an order refusing the-same, form no part of the judgment roll, and will not be reviewed on-appeal, unless embodied in a bill of exceptions.

Id.—Statute of Limitations—Pleading.—Where a claim against a school district has been properly audited and allowed by the board of education, it became a duty imposed by statute on the hoard to draw an order on the proper officer for its payment, and, under section 338 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the statute of limitations barred the right-to such order in three years. To avail itself of such bar, in a proceeding for a writ of mandate to compel the board to draw such order, the section must he pleaded by the board, and a plea thereof by its president and secretary, who are individually joined as defendants, is insufficient.

Id.— Judgment in Prior Action—Estoppel.— An action previously brought by the plaintiff against the school district to recover judgment on his original account, and a judgment therein adverse to him, is not a bar to such a subsequent proceeding in mandamus based upon his-audited demand-—it not appearing that the former action involved issues vital to the right to maintain mandamus.

Id.—Judgment in Mandamus.—In the proceeding in mandamus the plaintiff can only obtain judgment for an order for the amount of his audited claim, without any allowance for interest.
