   FuRCirEs, J.

We have carefully examined tbe facts of this case and find them to be substantially tbe same as those in McCall v. Webb, at tbis term. Tbis being so, tbe opinion of the Court in that case must govern our judgment in tbis case.

Tbe plaintiff is therefore entitled to tbe office sued for, it being the solicitorship of the Criminal Court of Madison County, and to tbe fees and emoluments thereof; and tbe defendant, Zachary, is not entitled to tbe same, nor to tbe fees and emoluments of said office. Let tbe writ issue as prayed for.

Affirmed.

Clark, J.,

dissents for reason given in the dissenting opinions in McCall v. Webb and Abbott v. Beddingfield, at tbis term.
