Goodfellow v. Common Council ( 1894 )

Per 0uriam.

In this matter we deem it unnecessary to issue the mandamus as prayed. Relator was, without question, entitled either to a hearing upon the charges made at the time fixed, or to have a time fixed when such hearing should be had. We think that the indefinite action of the common council was equivalent to a dismissal of the charges then pending, and must be so regarded. No costs will be allowed.
