1. ““We pointed out in Elsea v. Broome Furniture Company, 47 N.M. 356 , 143 P.2d 572 , a workmen’s compensation case, that a new trial is a matter within the court’s discretion. Further, our decision here is controlled by Battersby v. Macpherson, Jr., No. 6212, in which the circumstances were almost identical with those of the instant case. There, the relator sought by writ of prohibition to restrain the district judge from granting a new trial in a workmen’s compensation action on the same grounds, lack of jurisdiction, under the act, as raised in this case. We sustained a motion to dismiss. Under these facts, where prohibition will not lie, mandamus will not lie.””
