Court of Appeals of Texas June 9, 1920, No. 1633. (McNatt v. Lawther)

BOYCE, J.

N. J. McNatt and others brought this suit against Joe E. Lawther and others, as mayor and commissioners of the city of Dallas, for a mandamus, to require the defendants to reinstate the plaintiffs as firemen in the employ of the said city. The court sustained a general demurrer to the petition, so that it becomes necessary to state in some detail the contents of said pleading.
