This case involves a stipulation between the parties to reverse a lower court's judgment and remand the case with instructions to issue a writ of mandamus. The Supreme Court agreed to the stipulation, reversing the judgment without prejudice and ordering the lower court to grant the writ.
The Court held that it would recognize and approve the stipulation, reversing the lower court's final judgment and remanding the case with directions to enter a final judgment awarding the relators a peremptory writ of mandamus.
