State ex rel. Benne v. Engleman
Supreme Court of Missouri
Petition for mandamus. That portion of the order granting an appeal containing a condition precedent thereto, is without the authority of law — is a nullity, and void. It could not excuse the plain statutory duty of the clerk, and is not, therefore, a prohibition — is no justification.
1Opinion of the CourtCurrier, Judge
This is a petition for a mandamus upon the defendant, requiring him to make out and file with the Second District Court a copy of the record of proceedings in a cause pending in the Cape Girardeau Court of Common Pleas, wherein an appeal is alleged to have been granted — or show cause for not doing so. The relator was the appellant in that suit. The defendant here was clerk of the court, and declined furnishing the required transcript; and shows, in justification of his refusal, that he was therein acting in strict conformity with the order of the court, of which he was the servant and clerk.
