Supreme Court of Pennsylvania March 15, 1843 (Commonwealth ex rel. M'Laughlin v. Judges of the District Court)

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Rogers, J.

It is ruled in The Commonwealth ex relatione, Brackenridge v. The Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland county, (1 Serg. & Rawle 187), that the admission of an attorney of a Court of Common Pleas is a judicial, and not a ministerial act, and for that reason not the subject of a writ of mandamus.
