Head Matter:
SECOND NATIONAL BANK vs. CITY OF LANSING,
25 M., 206.

Opinion:
When there is money belonging to a specific fund to- pay orders against it, mandamus is the proper remedy to enforce their payment, but when there is no money belonging to such fund, the remedy must be to supply the deficiency, and in neither case will an action lie against the city on such orders.
