Hester's Case

Per Curiam. The established rule of law which has been constantly recognised and acted on by this court, is, that a mandamus will not be granted where there is a specific remedy by action. Commonwealth v. Rosseter, (2 Binn. 362). To determine whether the county commissioners are bound to pay this bill, the party has a remedy by action. He must first sue the county commissioners, and recover against them, before he can apply here for a mandamus. Motion refused.
