PEOPLE ex rel. CHASE v. CAMPBELL.
    (Supreme Court, General Term, Third Department.
    September 27, 1894.)
    Certiorari by Ferdinand W. Chase against Frank Campbell, late comptroller of the state of New York, to review his action in allowing a redemption of certain land from a sale for taxes in the years 1871-77 and 1880. Quashed.
    Argued before MAYHAM, P. J., and HERRICK, J.
    Weeds, Smith & Conway (T. F. Conway, of counsel), for appellant
    Beckwith, Botsford & Beckwith (G. H. Beckwith, of counsel), for respondent
   MAYHAM, P. J.

In the case of People v. Wemple (Sup.) 30 N. Y. Supp. 503, relating to the order of the comptroller allowing a redemption of this tax on the land in question, we had occasion to examine the validity of the action of the comptroller in allowing such redemption, and reached a conclusion sustaining the order of the comptroller. So long as that decision remains unreversed, we see no ground upon which to reverse the decision of the comptroller refusing to vacate his order allowing a redemption in this case. If his original order allowing a redemption was correct, it follows that his refusal to vacate it was not error. Certiorari quashed, with $50 -costs and disbursements.
