California Supreme Court September 18, 1900, S.F. No. 2112. (Moore v. Morrison)

BEATTY, C. J.

This is a proceeding in mandate to compel the defendant, as county auditor, to draw his warrant for the amount of a claim allowed by the board of supervisors. By general demurrer the defendant questioned the legality of the claim. The demurrer was overruled, and, defendant failing to answer, plaintiff had judgment, from which defendant appealed.
