    COMMON COUNCIL (Hudson) vs. WHITNEY (Recorder),
    53 M., 158.
   To compel respondent to advertise and sell certain lands returned for delinquent paving taxes.

Granted March 6, 1884.

Held, that the recorder could not refuse to perform the duty imposed upon him by the charter, on the ground that he believed the action of the council in laying the particular tax to be illegal, the proceeding being sufficiently regular and fair upon its face to protect ministerial action.
