State ex rel. Olustee Monument Commission v. Amos
Opinion of the Court
In a petition for an alternative writ of mandamus filed in this court seeking to require the State Comptroller to audit an account against the State, and to issue a warrant in favor of the relator for any amount found to be due, it is alleged that the “relator officially-paid to Charles Fleming the sum of fifteen dollars for; work actually done and performed by him in putting in order and maintaining in proper condition and beautifying the grounds adjacent and belonging to the site of the Olustee Monument.”
Even if the asserted relator has any legal status whatever and it has volunteered to pay an indebtedness of the State of Florida, it does not appear that mandamus may be invoked to compel a payment by the State to such volunteer.
“The Olustee Monument Commission” is not shown to be a legal entity. If reference may be had to an uncer
The petition is denied.
