10 Cal. 333

Goodwin v. Glazer

Opinion of the Court

Terry, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court

Field, J., and Baldwin, J., concurring.

The mandamus in this case was improperly granted. Plaintiff had recovered a moneyed judgment, upon which the clerk of *334the Court refused to issue execution. For all damages resulting from this refusal, the plaintiff has, in ordinary course of law, a plain and adequate remedy, by an action on the bond of the officer, and it is well settled that the writ will not issue in such cases.

Judgment reversed.
