“Mandamus will not lie to compel a public officer to do an act not clearly commanded by law, nor is one entitled to the writ unless it be made to appear that he has a clear legal right to have the particular act performed, the doing of which he seeks to have enforced.” Cureton v. Wheeler, 172 Ga. 879 (159 S. E. 283). It was not error to refuse a mandamus absolute.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
