Petition of Mr.. simmons for Writ of
Mandamus Refused.

Petition of Mr.. simmons for Writ of
Mandamus Refused.
The Supreme Court this morning
handed down a rescript in the case Simon
w. Simmons VS.. James Davis, town
treasurer of Johnston who petitioned for
n writ of mandamus TO compel Mr.. Davis
to pay the order granted by the council
OF 500, for stoned used in the construc-
tion of the Gallows bridge"
The court, after reviewing the facts in
the case says: The case as il now stands,
therefore, is one in which the petitioner
on the one hand holds an order on the
of 500, which the petitioner contends,
aud owing TO him, while on the other
hand the respo ndent contends, and offers
proof To show, that said order was er-
ronepusly issued, that said claim is fraud
ulent and thai said town is not indebted
10 the petitioner in any sum " whatsoever.
In o:her words, there is "A dispute between
the petitioner aud the respondent
as To the validity OF the claim in question
aud as TO the liability of the town to pay
the same. This being so, we think the
petitioner should be left to his action at
law TO substantiate his claim. For IL is
only in a clear case of indebtedness on
the part OF "A municipal corporation that
the court will compel payment 10y writ OF
mandamus. Nor will the court in such
proceeding attempt TO decide rs TO the
validity of disputed claim. See Port
