Newlin v. Harris
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Newlin v. Harris, 209 Pa. 558 (Pa. 1904)
58 A. 925; 1904 Pa. LEXIS 672
Brown, Fell, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter
Newlin v. Harris
Opinion of the Court
The only question involved in this appeal is whether a stranger not a party to a suit, and having no interest in it beyond that of any other citizen, can interpose to take it out of the hands of the responsible parties to the record and conduct further proceedings according to his own views. No authority has been shown for any such extraordinary and irregular action.
Judgment affirmed.

- Equity—Parties—Judge’s salary act—Act of April 14, 1903, P. L. 175. Where the court of common pleas has upheld the constitutionality of the judge’s salary act of April 14, 1903, and has awarded a peremptory writ of mandamus against the state treasurer, a private citizen has no standing to file a bill in equity to restrain the writ from being enforced and the salaries paid.
