Note 27 — AMENDMENT 11
Reading edition
Board of Liquidation v. McComb, 92 U.S. 531, 541 (1876). This was a case involving an injunction, but Justice Bradley regarded mandamus and injunction as correlative to each other in cases where the official unlawfully commits or omits an act. See also Rolston v. Missouri Fund Commissioners, 120 U.S. 390, 411 (1887), where it is held that an injunction would lie to restrain the sale of a railroad on the ground that a suit to compel a State official to do what the law requires of him is not a suit against the State. See also Houston v. Ormes, 252 U.S. 469 (1920).
