Opinion by

PINKHAM, C.

Th’s action was instituted in the district -court of Tulsa county by the defendant in error as plaintiff, against the plaintiff in error, as defendant.

The action was one in mandamus to compel -the -transfer of certain shares of the capital stock of -the Flowerdale Greenhouses, Inc., defendant in this action, to the plaintiff, and was commenced by the issuance of an alternative wirit of mandamus.

The issues involved in this case are identical with the issues involved in, the case of Flowerdale Greenhouses Inc., v. E. J. McJunkin, No. 15644, 106 Okla. 198 233 Pac. 758 , and by stipulation o® the parties the -briefs filed in that case are to be considered as the briefs of the respective parties in this case, No. 15645.

The only, question of law presented in this case is whether the district court of Tulsa county erred in holding that mandamus is a proper remedy to compel a private corporation -to transfer shares -of its capital stock upon its books.

The case of Flowerdale Greenhouses, Inc., v. E. J. McJunkin, this day decided, is decisive of the prop: siti-m presented, in which case it is held in the first paragraph of the syllabus that section 446, Comp. Stat. 1921, which provides that a writ of mandamus may be issued to any inferior tribunal, board, oa- person, to compel the performance of any action, which the law specially enjoins as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or station, includes private, ns well as public or quasi public, corporations.

We th’nk -that mandamus is a proper remedy under the circumstances of this ease, which are identical with the case of Flowerdale Greenhouses. Inc., v. E. J. McJunkin. supra, and that the judgment of the district court should be -affirmed.

By the Court: It is so ordered.
