People ex rel. Maltz v. Board of Education

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided October 8, 1879PublishedCited by 3 opinions

Mandamus to compel the respondent to pay a proportion of the orders of a school district of which it was formerly a part.

1Per curiam

Eelator has mistaken his remedy: the school district of Alpena is entitled to have the money paid to itself, and this is an indirect way of collecting his claim against a district with which he never contracted. He must get his redress through the instrumentality of the Alpena district, and that district is the only party having a claim against the new one.

Mandamus denied.
