PISTORIOUS vs. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE AND MAYOR (Saginaw). ALLERTON vs. CONTROLLER AND MAYOR (Saginaw),

Opinion:
These cases involve the same question as was raised in No. 1104, viz.: the validity of the Act consolidating the Saginaws.
Held, That on the refusal of the proper officer to file a chattel mortgage, and of the justice of the peace to issue an execution, the mortgagee and judgment creditor have such a special interest as entitles them to apply for the writ to compel such action on the part of said officers.
