1Opinion of the CourtJustice Sheldon
A rule of this court, based upon an affidavit filed by the relator, was entered in this cause on January 13, 1881, against Lyman Barnett, to show why he should not he made party defendant to this suit, and why an alias writ of mandamus should not he issued to him, commanding him to perform the acts which his predecessor in office was, by the former writ in the case, ordered to perform, which was, to execute, on behalf of the town of which he was supervisor, certain bonds to the relator. The respondent made return to the rule, to which the relator has demurred.
