Head Matter:
The People ex rel. Albert Kocourek V. The City of Chicago and Marshall Field.
Opinion filed December 18, 1901.
This case is controlled by the decision in People ex rel. v. City of Chicago and Schlesinger & Mayer, (ante, p. 507.)
Magruder, J., dissenting.
Original petition for mandamus.
L. P. Wilcox, for relator.
Charles M. Walker, Corporation Counsel, for respondent the city of Chicago.
Wilson, Moore & McIlvaine, for respondents Marshall Field and Marshall Field & Co.

Opinion:
Per Curiam
This is a petition for a writ of mandamus, filed in this court to compel the city of Chicago to remove a certain structure or bridge erected over and across a certain public alley in that city by the defendant Marshall Field & Co., a corporation, to connect the buildings of said Marshall Field & Co. situated on each side of said alley and used as a single mercantile establishment. The case is the same in all substantial respects as that of People ex rel. v. City of Chicago and Schlesinger & Mayer, (ante, p. 507,) and must be disposed of in the same way, and the petition denied for the reasons expressed in the opinion filed in the latter case.
Petition dismissed.
