““When causes of like nature or relative to the same question are pending before the circuit court in counties having a population of three hundred thousand or more according to the last or any future federal census, the court may make such orders and rules concerning proceedings therein as may be ■conformable to the usages of courts for avoiding unnecessary costs or delay in the administration of justice, and may consolidate said causes when it ap•pears reasonable to do so.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ex parte Mullins“[W]e hold that if the order made by the nisi prius court is within the letter and spirit of the statute, whether it be one consolidating or refusing to consolidate, the court's discretion can not be controlled by mandamus. If the order sought to be reviewed is not within the statute, but constitutes an arbitrary abuse of judicial power, mandamus will lie to review such order.”
