Ex PARTE WILD'.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., moved on behalf of Mr. Wilds
for a rule to show cause why a writ of quo warranto
should not issue calling upon Mr. Francis Russell,
the present acting clerk of the pesos for the
county of Kent, to show his qualification and
right to the office. The case had already been before
this court and the Court of Common Pleas. The former
application to this court was for a certiorari to bring up
the order of quarter sessions, dismissing or removing
Mr. Wilde from the office of clerk of the peace, when
it was suggested by the late Mr. Justice Crompton
that the better course would be for Mr. Wilds to bring
an action against Mr. Russell for the fees he had
received as clerk of the peace. The action was
brought, and when it came before Lord Chief
Justice Erle, it was turned into a special
case. It was argued in the Court of Common Pleas, when
the court decided that Mr. Wilds could not claim the
fees in the form of an action of money and received.
In consequence of that he was instructed by Mr. Wilds
to move for a quo warranto. The learned counsel read
various documents in support of his motion. The ground
