¶1The case on appeal, was agreed upon by the Solicitor and the counsel for the defendant. Such being the *665case; there is no ground for action by the Judge, State v. Cameron, 121 N. C., 572, Tbe Code, sec. 1234; nor for a certiorari to correct the case by the Judge’s notes of the evidence on file; nor to permit the Judge to' correct the case. If, in the interest of justice, this can be allowed in any case , (which is possible) it would be an exceptional one-, and upon ■specific allegations which have not been made in the present instance. It was the Solicitor himself who assented to the settlement of this case, and not the assistant counsel for the prosecution, which last it was held, in State v.
