International Railroad v. Comptroller, 36 Tex. 641 (Tex. 1872).

Opinion

Walker, J.

The attention of the court in this case is first called to the question of original jurisdiction in mandamus, and we have come to the conclusion, that whatever may have been the intention of the framers of the Constitution, that instrument does not confer upon this court such jurisdiction. The petition and alternative writ must therefore be dismissed.

Dismissed.
