Opinion

majority opinion

Mandamus for the payment of money can issue at the instance of one municipal corporation against another only when there are statutory or legal relations between them to authorize it and-the obligation to pay has been liquidated. An action for money had and received is the only proceeding by which to liquidate a demand against a municipal corporation for money belonging to the plaintiff and wrongfully in its possession.
