The relator, John B. Cocke, administrator of the estate of one Woodson Cocke, filed a petition, addressed to the Circuit Court, praying a writ of mandamus to be directed to the court of county commissioners, the judge of probate, and the treasurer of the county of Perry. The right to the writ is founded on the averment that the relator is the holder of a warrant on the county treasurer, drawn by the judge of probate, on the 10th day of Septem
There are other averments in the petition and the answer not material to notice in the view we take of the case. The relator, by replication, traversed the answer, putting in issue the matters of fact to which we have referred.
The issue was tided by the court, without the intervention-of a jury, and a judgment rendered, awarding a peremptory mandamus, compelling the respondents to issue to the relator bonds of the county in payment of said warrant, with interest thereon from the 3d day of December, 1867, deducting partial payments, and computing the interest as required by the statute in case of partial payments. That judgment is-now assigned as error.
The judgment must be reversed, and in obedience to the practice generally pui’sued in this court, the cause will be remanded.
