People ex rel. Allen v. Frink ( 1875 )

Pee CueiaM:

Application is made by the moderator and the director of a school-district for a writ of mandamus to require the respondent, who is assessor of the district, to pay a certain warrant drawn upon him by them in favor of a school teacher.

The respondent shows for cause, among other things, a want of funds, and as this showing is not in any way impugned, nor any attempt made to question its correctness, the writ must be denied, with costs to respondent.
