Munson, Start, Taft, Tyler, Watson

Farr v. Town of St. Johnsbury

Opinion of the Court

Taft, C. J.

If the petitioner is entitled to the town order which he seeks to have issued, and delivered him, it is only upon the ground that he has a legal claim against the petitionee town. If he does not have such claim, he has no legal right to the order,' and if he has such claim he has an adequate remedy in an action at law to recover it. Therefore he cannot sustain this petition, and the same is dismissed with costs.
