county circuit court for q mandamus to
compel the commissioners to issue and
deliver to them the 100000 in Jackson
county bonds voted to the company,
some six or eight years ago. And fol-
lowing the first petition came another,
setting forth that the judge of the circuit
and the inhabitants OF the county are
greatly prcludiced against the company,
and that the ends of justice, therefore,
demanded tina, case be tried in some
