Description
In this proceeding William J. Donahue, who will be
referred to as the plaintiff, sought a peremptory writ
of mandamus directing the defendant, the secretary of
the board of education of the town of Torrington, to
permit him to inspect the minutes of certain specified
meetings of that board. The alternative writ alleged
that the plaintiff was an elector of the town of
Torrington but did not set forth any further interest
he might have had in the minutes or his purpose in
seeking access to the records. The motion to quash
was on the ground that the writ failed to state those
matters and that, therefore, its allegations were
insufficient to form a basis for granting the relief
sought. The motion to quash was granted, the plaintiff
elected not to plead over and judgment was entered
[136 Conn. 693]
denying the peremptory writ. This appeal assigns
as error the granting of the motion to quash.
