    PEOPLE ex rel. DUMARY v. VAN ALSTYNE, Mayor, et al.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department.
    June 28, 1900.)
    Certiorari—Cancellation or Contract—Review.
    The determination by the board of contract and apportionment of the existence of certain facts in regard to the manner in which one with whom it has entered into a contract for a public improvement is performing his contract is not binding on the other party to the contract. Hence certiorari will not lie, on the relation of the contractor, to review the action of the board in canceling the contract pursuant to such findings made by it.
    Application in the name of the people,, on the relation of T. Henry Dumary, against Thomas J. Van Alstyne, as mayor, and others, as the board of contract and apportionment of the city of Albany, for a writ of certiorari to review the action of respondent in canceling a contract with relator.
    Writ quashed.
    Argued before PARKER, P. J., and KELLOGG, MERWIN, and SMITH, JJ.
    Charles B. Templeton (Lewis E. Carr, of counsel), for relator.
    Arthur L. Andrews, for defendants.
