1Opinion of the CourtMonroe, C. J.
Relator was elected trustee of finance of the board of trustees of the city of Lafayette, and gave bond as required by the city charter (Act 310 of 1914, § 34) in the sum of $10,000 with the Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland as surety, which bond was inscribed in the mortgage office, to operate as a legal mortgage upon the property of the principal and surety. He applied to the district court, contradictorily with the recorder and the city, for a writ of mandamus directing the cancellation of the inscription, and prosecutes this appeal from a judgment rejecting his demand.
