Before Judge CardoZO

The Case of Captain John $. Young-Argu-
ments Of Counsel.
Before Judge Cardozo.
The People eL rel. John s. YOing rs. The Board or
Potice.-The argument Of this case in which eX-Cap
tain John Young asks to have the judgment OF the
Board Of Police discharging him vacated came up
yesterday.
ton OF the Board Of Police in refusing regard his
resignation as effected was merely for the purpose
of degrading him and was contrary to the policy OF
our law, which does not seek to keep men In office
against their will and contrary to the Police act,
which expressly recognizes the right Of police
officers TO resign at their own will. That, though
Mr.. Young did not ask restoration to the police
force and so not pecuniary relief his demand was
for substantial relief as the record OF the Judgment
would II allowed to stand be brought against him
in the future He argued that mandamus was the
true remedy In such cases, citing, with many other
cases, the old police suits. That the Police Board
was utterly without power over Mr.. Young after
his resignation, whether considered as complete at
the expiration OF five days from the absence from
duty on the 15th or at the formal resignation the
17th or even at the expiration OF five days from this
latter date That the Board which purp0rted to try
him was incomplete through the absence OF the
President, claiming that the Presidents presence
was necessary to any action or the Board.
Mr.. vanderpoe In reply, urged, first, that man.
damus was not q proper remedy, because 1t was
never granted where 1t was useless, as It would he
in this case, Mr.. Young did not ask to be re.
stored, and the Board had no power to alter their
records. IL was never granted to review judicial
proceeding the proper remedy for that was
by certorari unless the proceeding were
entirely without jurisdiction, In which case a
mandamus might Issue to- restore the previous
circumstances not TO reverse a nulity. As to the
Qaestion OF resignation, Captain Young's was shown
by act until the 18th. Up to that day he retained
his Shield ana showed no intention, whatever might
be the rumoTS In the newspapers, to do so. Ills
resignation was that evening gwen to the clerk but
the clerk could not accept IT, all he could do was to
communicate the letter TO the Board, which he did
on the morning OF the 18th. Such designations re-
qured an affirmative act OF some Kind by the re-
cipients to make them complete. The Board refused
that acceptance, and at any time, the five days OF
absence commenced from then, and the trial was
within those five days. As 10 whether that trial was
fair OF not could only be argued certiorari. Mr..
Nanderpoel argued that the presence OF the Presi-
dent was not necessary to q quorum OF the Board.
The Court reserved ITS decision.
