135. Upon complying with the provisions of the foregoing section, the
plaintiff may thereupon claim in his declaration, either together with any
other demand which may be enforced in such action, or separately, a writ
of mandamus commanding the defendant to fulfill any duty, in the fulfill-
ment of which the plaintiff is personally interested, or directing the de-
fendant to do any act or acts that he may be bound by contract with the -
plaintiff to do, or an injunction forbidding the defendant to do, repeat
or continue to do any act or acts that it is his duty to refrain from doing,
either by contract or otherwise, or either or both of said writs.
See notes to secs. 7, 134 and 137.

upon which the claim for mandamus or injunction is founded, and that
plaintiff is interested therein; or, that he sustains, or may sustain, damage

or continuance of any act, and that he has demanded performance, or
discontinuance, and so forth, thereof, and the same has been refused or

writ of mandamus or injunction is claimed shall be the same in all respects,
as nearly as may be, and costs shall be recoverable by either party as in
an ordinary action at law; and the defendant may demur to so much of
the plaintiff's declaration as claims such writ, and such demurrer shall
raise the question whether the facts stated as the ground of such claim
disclose any such legal duty as that so sought to be enforced, but shall be
subject to all rules governing general demurrers at law, both as to the
proceedings thereon and thereafter.
