(concurring). For the reasons stated by me in Faulconer v. Warner, 2 Wash. 525 (27 Pac. Rep. 274), I am of the opinion that, prior to the passage of the act of January 21, 1893, it was the duty of a judge whose office had expired to settle statements of facts in cases tried before him. But as I feel bound by the majority opinion in that case, I concur in the disposition of this application on the ground set forth in the foregoing opinion of Judge Stiles.
