In the case of ('has. K. Sear Is, State's
Attorney, vs. Huber !>. ( art!, Prosecu
| tin* Attorney of the city of Putnam,
. memorandum upon motion to quash.
Superior Court, Windham County,
June IS, paw.
| The res|H>nitent is the Prosecuting
Attorney for the city of Putnam, and
as such it is his duly to diligently in
quire after and make due presentment
of all claims and misdemeanors com
mitted within the jurisdiction of the
j City Court of said Putnam.
It is alleged in the {letilion for a man
damus now {lending before this court:
i “On Sunday, May l»Hh, 1»n, sundry
! persona at and within the limits of the
city of Putnam openly and notoriously
■ kept o|ien certain shops and exposed
i certain personal properly for sale at
and within ttie limits of the said city
of Putnam on said Sunday, between
the hours of 12 o’clock Saturday night
an<l 12 o'clock of said Sunday night,
and so committed crimes and misde
meanors in violation of the provisions
of section liHit of the general statutes
of the State, and said City Court of
1'utnatn had jurisdiction ami cogni
zance and could lawfully act in all of
said matters.
thi the Itith day of May, runs, f rank
lin W Perry and F.dgar M. Warner,
citizens of said city of Putnam, made
complaint and furnished full informa
tioivlosaid Card, as such Prosecuting
Attorney, that t.leorge Peterson, of said
city of Putnam, had, on Sunday, May
loth, Phis, between the hours of 12
o'clock Saturday night and 12 o'clock
on said Sunday night, violated the pro
visions of section l;W!> of tlie general
statutes of this Slate, in that said
George Peterson had at and within the
limits of the city of Putnam kept open
his shop therein, and therein exposed
for sale certain goods, w ares and mer
chandise.
Said Card, as such Prosecuting Attor
ney, on May ldth, 190*, had full know
ledge that said crimes and misdemean
ors, violations of the provisions of see
lion i-iKitof the general statutes of this
State,had been committed at and w ill,'
in the limits of said city of Putnam,
as set forth in paragraphs ; and 4. and
| mat it was his duty, as such Prosecut
ing Attorney, to make line present
ment amt complaint to said City Court
of the aforesaid crimes and misdemean
ors, violations of the j>ro\ i'ions of sec
tion PiCsi of the general statues of this
State.
i >n May IMh, l!>os, said < aril, unlaw
fully and wilfully refused to jierform
his duties as such Prosecuting Atlor- |
ney. as set forth in paragraph J, dili
gentl.v to inquire after and make due
i presentment of complaint to said City
I Court of tiie city of Putnam of the
aforesaid crimes and misdemeanors set
forth in paragraphs :> and 4."
The resi«indent appears in court and
moves to quash the writ.
The motion to quash sets forth the
reasons why the petition should lx* dis
missed, in four different paragraphs,
vet for the pnr|>ose of this case it seems
that all the grounds alleged for dismis- j
sal may lit* fni 1 \ disposed of by oonsid- j
ering the allegation of paragraph 1 of
the motion, wieh is as follows:
o. It fully appears in said writ that
the respondent is the Prosecuting At
torney of the city of Putnam, duly ap
pointed and qualified, and that in re
fusing to institute the proceedings by
said application sought to lx* enforced
tie was and is in the exercise of the of
ficial duties of hi- said office, involving j
the exercise <>1 bis official judgment j
and discretion.
The |>elition now under considera
tion hardly sustains the contention of
the resjiondent that it appears in said
writ, that in refusing to institute the
proceedings compiained nMie was in
the exercise of official duties of his offiee
which involved hU official judgment
and discretion.
Ttie substance of the charges set forth
in the application is that the respond
ent is a public officer whose duty it is
to prosecute all crimes and misdemean
ors which come with the jurisdiction of
the court of which he is prosecutor.
That certain crimes and misdemeanors
have been committed within his juris
diction which it was his duty to prose
ecute, and that with full knowledge
and information of all these facts he
unlawfully and wilfully refused toper
form his duly.
The motion to rjuash admits the alle
gations of the petition which are well
pleaded to be true, and this inquiry is
simply to determine wdiether the |ieli
tion is sufficient in law.
it does not apjiear that the manda
mus is asked for to control the discre
tion of the res|sjndent, but it is distinct
ly alleged, and fully appears, that he
reluses to exercise hi» discretion, or act '
at ail where it is duty to do «i.
In what cases a w rit of mandamus j
is warranted it is not always easy tode- J
lermine. While it should not be issued
to control the discretion of a court j
fir public officer, yet the discretion is j
not unlimited, and if it tie exercised ar- j
bitrarilv, or not exercised at all, with
manifest injustice,court* will commend i
its due exercise.
••The discretion of a judge, indeed,
! in a matter entrusted by law to his de
! termination, cannot be controlled by
writ of mandamus. But if he declines
S to exercise his discretion, or to act at
I all. where it is his duty to do so, a writ
| of mandamus may be issued to coinj^l
him to act.” Hudson v*. Parker, t vs
l'. S. H., and cases there cited.
For the purpose of the present case
the office and definition of a writ of
mandamus is well stated as follows:
"A writ o' mandamus is a command
issuing from the Superior Court to some
inferior court of judicature, corporation
or public officer, requiring them to do
some iwmtcular act, therein specified,
which appertains to their office and
duty." I Swift’a Digest, p. 577.
This writ is directed against a public
officer, one who is invested with the
power to prosecute all crimes and mis
demeanors which come within the jur
isdiction of the City Court of Putnam,
an authority which is reposed in no oth
er person.
If he refuses to discharge the duties
of his office, or if he abuses the discre
tion reposed in him, there must be some
power to compel him to act.
As we have already seen from the de
finition of a writ of mandamus.it will
issue by the Superior Court, to the in
ferior courts or public offioers, to en
force the due exercise of those judicial
or ministerial power with which they
have been invested; and this not only
byrestraining their excesses, but also
by quickening their negligence, and
obviating their denial of justice. There
fore the motion to quash is overruled.
