Unreported.
In re James H. Cole for a Writ of Mandamus against Charles Ingersoll as County Treasurer, to compel the issuance of a liquor tax certificate.
J. and T. E. Courtney, for relators.
M. X. Tompkins, for respondents.

Opinion:
Smith, J,:
At the threshold of this proceeding the relator is met with the objection that his proper remedy for the grievance of which he complains is certiorari. This objection, I think, is well made. The statute is explicit in its terms and provides, therein for a mode of review.
• That mode, I think, was intended to be and is exclusive. The above proceedings, therefore, must be dismissed with ten dollars costs in each case.
