New York Court of Appeals November 12, 1878 (People Ex Rel. Satterlee v. . Board of Police)

Miller, J.

The relator seeks relief by mandamus against the police commissioners, commanding them to draw their requisition upon the comptroller, compelling him to pay over to the treasurer of said board the balance due the relator for his salary, as a surgeon. The resolution of the board, conferring upon him the appointment, fixes the annual salary at $1,500.
