Tbe Op'nion of Judg? Melton Denying
tne Writ of Mandamus.
The opinion of Judge Melton in the Barn
well-Blackvtlle case has been flied. It is a long
document, amt -vre omit tbe statement of the
general fact?, which are already familiar to our
readers :
RBTCRN OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
The return or the Secretary of State sets ;orth
that
1 I* 'tra?tre to which the r*!;!Ara ?1er. and
which they seek to have restored, is found, not in
the act of the General Assembly, but in thc copy
thereor which was made in the office or the res?
pondent arter thc act was passed by the two
houses, lu? said copy being what is known as the
"enrolled copy,"' to which is appeuded the usual
formula of ratifl^t; ion. * * * *
"By a concurrent resolution of the General Assem?
bly, the respondent was authorized to emploi tac
necessary clerks for enrolling the acts ana en?
grossing the bills or tiie General Assembly. The
act referred to was very long, and perfected at a
very late day of the session, out a very short and
necessarily hurried interval was allowed within
which to make the enrolled copy. In making the
enrolled copy from the original, occurred un error
in writing the word Barnwell instead of the
word Blackville, and in this form the said en?
rolled copy was ratiacl and approved. Wheth?
er this error was :\e result of ac.-ident or
procured bv design, this respondent cannot
undertake to saw It had escaped the atten?
tion of this respondent, and would seem
also to have escaped the attention of the
Committee on Enrolled Acts. The attention of thc
respondent was not drawn to the Tact of the error
natu perhaps two weeks arter the Legislature had
adjourned. * * * * *
. This error had occurred in connection with a mat?
ter which bad been the subject or disagreement
between thc two Houses, lt was known to the
respondent that the House had finally receded
from its position, and that the act had been Anally
passed by the two Houses, axlneBlackriHe as the
place for holding the courts for Barnwell County,
and in this form the respondent natl been directed
to have the same enrolled for ratification. * *
Knowing, therefore, that thc writing or the word
Barnwell in the enrolled copy instead ur Sack?
ville, was a clerical error, and that the act. as
thus enrolled, was not in conformity with the act
as it had passed the General Assembly, and as it
had been ordered to be enrolled, this respondent
assumed the responsibility of correcting the error
on the eurolled copy by erasing therefrom the
word Barnwell and inserting the word Blackville,
as it appears in the act itself.
OPINION'.
Whilst disclaiming the imputation of in:;.-roper
motives ou thc part of the Secretary of State in
making the erasure, the argument or the coonsel
for the relators in denial of his authority thus, to
spoliate an enrolled act of the General Assembly
Is clear and conclusive. That he was personally
charged, by inference, wiih the supervision of the
clerical. force ' employed In the work, of enrol?
ment, seems to be an Indifferent matter. It
ceased to have relation to his duties the moment
when the parchment was delivered to the "Com?
mittee OP Enrolled Acts/' It then becomes the
duty of this committee to see that the will of the
Legislature was therein truthfully expressed, and
lt is theirs to bear.tue responsibility of any dere?
liction in this high and most important ooice. In
reference to enrolled acts, the law does not in
terms prescribe any duty to be performed by the
Secrerary of. State except that of publication.
It has been the custom, however, in this State, to
entrust them to the enstodyof his office for the
further purposes of reference and safekeeping.
Beyond these purpo?es he is to them an .utter
stranger-more indifferent than the adjutant to
the orders of his commander, or the clerk to the
records of the court of highest resort.
The consideration of this proposition, if it can
be entertained with patience, ls simply Idle; there
can be no doubt about lt. lt was tu avoid thc re?
mote contingency of spoliation that the solemn
forms of ratification were provided In the early
history of Parliament, and have been with so
much of ceremony observed to this day; rorras
sufficient In themselves to snggest that a writing
so attested mest be held sacred-not to be.proianed
by any hand; not to be altered even by .the pow?
ers that made it, eave as other laws are changed,
through the prescribed forms of legislation.
(Black. Com., 185.) The discretion to alter a word,
whatever the motive, implies thc right to alter a
paragraph or a section, or, Indeed, te blot .'rom
the stature book the whole body of our laws.
Among the-statutes of our State .instances of
-s?mii?ii error In enr?laient wiil be found-errors
wale* w?r? denounced by the people upon whom
they, worked hardship and fraud; bur which,
whilst they were cured by measure of repeal, re?
mained as they were written, untouched. Such
errors may again occur: yet, whatever of wrong
may. thereby ensue, bears no coniparl-on to that
. which surrenders a solemnly ranticd act of the
L?gislature to the discretion, however wise, of
any authority whatever, by a mere dash of the
pen? to make the.laws and put lu jeopardy the
liberties of the people.
But lt does not follow rrom. the conclusion that
the writ must issue. To make this plain, it ls ne?
cessary to cite authority, in d?finition or this pro
cess, and or the roles which control the court in
the exercise of this high and extraordinary pre
rotative.
THE WRIT OP MANDAI!TS.
A considerable portion of tho opinion is taken
up In a discussion of the power, and causes to
Issue a writ of mandamus.
The Governor htmseir being compellable "to
perform an act dearly defined and enjolnfd ny
tani, which ls nearly ministerial lu its nature,
- and neither involves dt>crctlon nor leaves any
alternative." See Moses on Mandamus, 63,7C..52,
and cases there cited.
TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE ONE RIGHT.
It was urged by the respondent tha* lt did not
pertain to the issue involved to determine the pro?
priety of his conduct In inaklug thc erasure and
substitution suggested by the relators. On the
contrary, his misconduct in this regard tarnishes
the ground on which 1 must reta.se the writ. It
was not his official duty to do the spoliation; by
necessary consequences lt Is not his official duty
to restore the erasure: and the court cannot by
mandamus command lt to be done. That he
touched-it with his pen was wrong. It ls a home?
ly old maxim, "Two wrongs never made a right."
The erasure, whilst it remains, cannot reach th?
integrity or the act: "it has not the effect to des?
troy Its, character or legal effect." Greene Ex.
666. The facts of this investigation being devel
oped, the law, If law lc he, continues presumed to
be lodged In every man's mind already.
THE GIVING OK THE CERTIFICATE.
We come to the second proposition ia thc rule
that the secretary be required to ?rive to the rela?
tors a certified copy ol the act as it was enrolled,
ratified and approved, and placed in his on ce, lu
detcrmlulug inls, I pass by the consideration or
the danger involved by thc (.rec?dent or requiring
an officer to certlty rrom memory a paper not tn
existence, as well as tue consideration that thc
writ, ir graated, would be nugatory and nnavail
ing. Wnether the relators have the legal right to
have the certificate demanded depends upon the
declarative proposition whether the granting or
lt ls a clearly defined ministerial duty of the office
of the Secretary of State. This determined affir?
matively, it must be ascertained whether, In the
sound legal discretion of the court, tnc thtug de
manded would.be ' consonant with right, justice,
and a good government."
Ia the Constitution. Art. 3, Sec. 23. lr 13 prov!
ded that thc duties ot the Secretary or St.ire sliallei
be prescribed by law. In the Statutes various
dulles are enjoined, but. so rar as my research
has gone, nothing lu this point. WetlmL how?
ever, in I'etigru's Code, page si. note, that ' the
duties or the Secretary or State are to be Inferred
rrom thc fees which arc allowed klan, and fruin
the penalties for ot?lclal misconduct;" and tl;
law provides tar this office a fee per copy ?she
tar the copying of any writing, and also a fte for
"a testimonial with the great seal of the State."
If the law nrovided by specie', enact meut tar the
secretary's oustody or the enrolled acts. I would
regard it as an Inference that he should, upon re
qnest.'give to anyparty In Interest a certified copy
of any act ou file, upon tender of such fees.. As ft
is, the casus omissxts is one of the Legislature;
and, so rar as this court is concern;;!, whatever
may be, in morals, the duty of the secretary cot.
sequent upon his consent to keep custody of the
records, renden the duty, in its legal character,
not clearly defined and doubtful; and because the
right as to the certidcate is doubtful, and the
corresponding duty not clearly defined, thewrt
based npon the second requirement or the m e
must also be denied. 8 Pit., 291.
This conclusion would i>c entertained wi-li
something or hesitancy if lt were not fortified nv
considerations touching the propriety of the writ
in this case, to which. In thc exercise of mv dis
cretion, 1 deem lt proper to rerer.
Much or the learning < f the argument In hciiair
of the relators was directed to the point that, the
statute being a record of the highest dignity, and
of the highest and most absolute proof-indeed
the very law itseir as it was said-no averment
against it could be admitted. Tnt?, as a rule ot
evideuce, is clearly established, and applicable
certainly whenever such record is offered' in ev*
dence. But is it applicable when the deed is ?rn
peached for forgery or other fraud, or even tar
mistake, when the Integrity or the record itself,
as In this case, is thc matter in issue? ir so,
would not the argument prove too much tar the
relators, and compel them to take the statute as
it now reads? Dut. whatever may be the doctrine
or the English law. it is ?m established principle
in this country that lt ls competent for the court
to look behlni-Jlio printed statute to the enrolled
act, and behind the enrolled act to the journals
or other records or the Legislature, to ascertain
not perhaps what the law means-bur whether in
conformity with the prescribed tartas or the con?
stitution or for whatever ot her reason, ir lt be tn
fact the btw. Cooley, 103, ia*: 2 Ulli. X. V 43- 4
lilli, X. V_, 330: 22 Wendall. 901; 1 1 eulo, 10. ' '
TUE CODE NOT LEGAL.
In accordance with this rule, it i; shown ny thc
return and accompanying affidavits ami records
that the act. as passed by Hie two houses, reads
Blackville; thar it so read.whcn it reached the
respondent's office forenrolment; thal by a cleri?
cal error in :he process or enrolment the word
Barnwell was substituted, and that tue net thus
lu error was ratified, approved and placed in the
custody of the office or the Secretary cf State.
The lacts of the return were nor traversed, and
niust betaken to be true, lr follows that this
third paragraph of section lt? of tilt- oct lu ques?
tion, as lt.,was enrolled, 1 stilled and approved,
was nut passed by the General Assen.b.v. and.
-therefore, ls not the law: that the p.vagnph
v. Idea wa-passed instead vas not p: estated to
the Executive for approval, and became void for
want of conformity to toe provisions of the con?
stitution in this regard, ana that the paragraph,
whether spoliated or not,"however it may once
Lave read or now reads, ls inoperative and in?
valid.
PROSTITUTING THE I'OWKR op MANDAMUS;
It is lmposs'ide to avoid the conclusion, ia view
of the declared purpose of the relators, that the
certificate of the Secretary of State in this in?
stance, if availing, would operate to give legal
effect to that which ls not only Illegal, bat directly
against the will of the General assembly, and
to compel a certificate to such end. in the exer?
cise of the high and consummate power or man
damns, would be to prostitute rather than to pro?
mote its most beneficial object-the purpose of
"right, juatioe, and good government.-?
The motion for the writ is denied by an order,
