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 — Baldwin
BALDWIN, J.
— In this case we understand the mandamus merely to direct that the supervisors shall proceed to audit the claims of the relator in this proceeding. This does not necessarily require of the board to allow the account. They have a discretion in respect to their action in this regard, and though they are compelled to proceed to act on the subject matter of the claim, yet the mandamus does not control or prescribe the mode or determine the result of their action.
The judgment is affirmed.
I concur: Terry, C. J.
