Williams v. Board of Supervisors

65 Cal. 160 | Cal. | 1884

The Court.

—The order of a board of supervisors, creating a district for the reclamation of swamp land, is an act of legislalion, in the exorcise of the taxing or police power of the State, which is not reviewable upon certiorari. (Bixler v. County of Sacramento, 59 Cal. 700.) The writ of certiorari is, as a remedy, only available for the review of an act judicial in its character.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
