People ex rel. Equitable Life Assur. Soc. v. Chapin

Opinion of the Court

Danforth, J.

The comptroller acted upon papers presented to him, and refused the application upon the ground that the sales were regular. The matter was for his determination, and we agree with the supreme court in the opinion that he cannot, by mandamus, be required to reach a different conclusion. Howland v. Eldredge, 43 N. Y. 457.

Order affirmed, with costs.

All concur.
