whether the Office was or was not vacant
for the reasons assigned by the Judge of
the Sixth District Court yesterday 1t was
not for the Council to say whether the
vacancy occurred in this way or that way;
there was certainly now vacancy one way
or the other, and he therefore desired that
the Governor should be notified of the
fact.
