Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
The Court.
—The order of a board of supervisors, creating a district for the reclamation of swamp land, is an act of legisla*161lion, in the exorcise of the taxing or police power of the State, which is not reviewable upon certiorari. (Bixler v. County of Sacramento, 59 Cal. 700.) The writ of certiorari is, as a remedy, only available for the review of an act judicial in its character.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
