Opinion of the Court

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Per Curiam.

The respondents fail to make answer to the order heretofore granted to show cause, and it is very apparent that the facts set forth in the petition, and which the respondents must, for the purposes of this case, be taken to admit, bring the application within the decision in French v. The Common Council of Lansing, 30 Mich., 378 .

The relief prayed must therefore be granted, with costs.
