The Mandamus case.

--The mandamus applied for by the counsel for John A. Worsham has been awarded by Judge Meredith, ordering the Mayor to appear and show cause why he refused an appeal from his judgment confiscating $545 belonging to said Worsham.

It is resorted to by almost everybody, in the hope that one statute will undo what another has done.
