THE PEOPLE ex rel. GEORGE BLONK v. THE BOARD OF POLICE.
    Police officer—Improper dismissal of.
    Certiorari to review dismissal of relator.
    
      C. A. Hess, for relator; E. H. Lacombe, for resp’t.
   Per Curiam.

It is apparent, from a reading of the evidence produced by the relator i pon his trial before the police commissioners, that he did not intend to commit a breach of discipline, but acted under a mistaken interpretation of his duty under the instructions which were given him by his captain.

Und r these circumstances we do not think that he should have been dismissed from the force, and such a.tion of the commissioners should be reversed.
