1Opinion of the Court
The Court:
This is a petition for a writ of prohibition commanding the Controller to refrain and desist from drawing warrants upon the treasury in payment of any claims arising under the Act of April 23rd, 1880, entitled “An Act to promote drainage,” and the Treasurer from paying out any money upon such warrants.
