The People of the State of New York Ex Rel. John H. Millard, Respondent v. Alfred C. Chapin

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the General Term's order granting a writ of mandamus and affirmed the Special Term's denial, holding that mandamus is not a proper remedy to compel the State comptroller to refund purchase money, that the relator failed to show a right to the money, and that the unreasonable delay barred the writ.
