State ex rel. Smith v. Witter , 4 Ohio Law. Abs. 209 ( 1926 )

JONES, J.

A court, in the exercise of its discretion, may refuse to issue a writ of mandamus, in favor of a relator who has allowed an unreasonable time to elapse before bringing his action, especially where such delay may be prejudicial to the rights of the respondent.

Writ denied.
