The same rule clearly <hr /> applies so far as the Executive branch of the Government of Illinois is concerned The Governor as the Executive is not subject to mandamus from the Courts. The Lieut. Governor occupies a double relation to the State both Executive (at times) and Legislative when Presiding over the senate. He is not subject to a Mandamus in either capacity. The case of The People ex re Billings vs Bissell Governor 19 Illinois, 229 to 234 decides with much ability that the court has no power to compel the action of co-ordinate brances of Government though it is said that as in the case The People ex re vs Matteson 17 Ills. 167 the excutive might make an agreed case and submit it to Supreme Court, but that the <hr /> court claims no right to exercise coercive jurisdiction over the executive. My opinion is that it is not the duty of Governor Yates nor of Lt Governor Hoffman to appear voluntarily on notice such as has been served. Should the court improvidently issue an alternative writ of mandamus, answer should be made merely however as a matter of respect to the court that the court had no power over either the Governor or Lieut.
