Opinion
Application No. 18892.
Decided July 6, 1932.
Jurisdiction — Practice in Supreme Court.
Where the subject matter of a suit is not before the Supreme Court, the application for writ of error will be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Error to the Court of Civil Appeals for the Sixth District, in an appeal from Panola County.
S. M. N. Marrs, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, joined by certain tax payers of rural high school district No. 1, in Panola County, institutes suit against the trustees of said school district seeking a mandamus to compel them to certify the proceedings of a bond issue to the Attorney General of the State for his examination and approval. The trial court granted the mandamus and the Court of Civil Appeals affirmed the judgment ( 47 S.W.2d 440), and defendants have applied to the Supreme Court for writ of error.
Dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Woolworth Baker, of Carthage, for plaintiffs in error.
Brachfield Wolfe, of Henderson, for defendants in error.
The question as to whether or not the bonds involved in this suit could have been abrogated or cancelled by authority of an election and vote of the people, held for that purpose, is not before us, and we express no opinion upon that question. We have, therefore, dismissed the application for writ of error under the statute for want of jurisdiction.
