These were actions of mandamus against the city of Hobart and its mayor and members of the common council to compel action upon petitions filed by the several groups of relators for the disannexation from the city of certain lands which relators were alleged to own. The questions involved are fully passed upon and decided in City of Hobart v. State, ex rel. (1926), ante 574, and, on the authority of the decision in that case, the judgment in each of these actions is affirmed.
