Summary
In People v. Propper, 220 Ill. 455, 77 N.E. R. 208, previous to his admission the attorney had been convicted of bastardy, although he was innocent he said and did not appeal for lack of funds; had been convicted of sending obscene cards through the mail, although he had not been sentenced because as he alleged the judge was not satisfied with the evidence; that he had been guilty but not convicted of bigamy. It was held that he should be disbarred.
Summary of this case from Gould v. StateOpinion
Gen. No. 41,589. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed December 30, 1941
MANDAMUS, § 57.1 — writ of mandamus to compel supervisor to submit accounts for audit denied. Where a writ of mandamus was sought to compel the township supervisor and ex officio overseer of the poor to submit his relief administration accounts to the town board of auditors twice a month, and it appeared that the supervisor complied with all the rules and regulations of the relief commission in keeping the accounts and they were audited by the commission, the petition for the writ was properly denied, since the writ of mandamus is not a writ of absolute right but can be granted or withheld as here in the exercise of sound discretion under all the circumstances.
