Please sign up to view Important Paras.

The refusal by the Supreme Court of a writ of mandamus is not reviewable unless the constitutionality of a statute is involved.

The opinion of the court was delivered by BODINE, J.

The relator attempts to have us review an order of the Supreme Court discharging a rule to show cause why mandamus should not issue to compel the issuance of a building permit and a license for the erection of a gasoline service station.

Since the constitutionality of a statute is not involved, the Supreme Court's refusal of mandamus is not reviewable in this court. Matlack v. Lloyd, 82 N.J.L. 739 ; Camden v. Public Service Railway Co., 84 Id. 309.

The appeal must be dismissed.

For dismissal — THE CHANCELLOR, CHIEF JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, CASE, BODINE, DONGES, PERSKIE, VAN BUSKIRK, KAYS, HETFIELD, DEAR, WELLS, DILL, JJ. 13.
