GRONDIN ET AL. vs. LOGAN (Supervisor) AND MALLEN (Township Clerk, of Seney),
    No. 12299,
    88 M., 247.
   To compel respondents to recognize relators as justices of the peace, and part of the township board.

Denied November 11, 1891, without costs.

[Respondents insisted that relators were not regularly elected and duly qualified justices of the peace.

Held, that an answer denying allegations of fact made in the petition is decisive on a hearing on petition and answer.

Also, that the township board cannot in this proceeding question the election or qualification of justices, who have acted as such for more than a year.
