| The proceeding, initiated to compel the construction of a bridge over the Illinois and Michigan Canal, commenced in La Salle Circuit Court. Despite efforts by Hoes and others to enforce the bridge's construction, the court ordered a mandamus. However, the writ issued was deemed defective, lacking essential facts and grounds for the remedy sought. Consequently, the judgment was overturned due to these substantial defects, with costs incurred by the relators. Illinois Report 14 Ill 402 is also part of this case. |
