ALACR OF AUTHORITIES.
Mai. Meldrim. attorney for the contest
ants. SAYS there IS d lack of authority on
the point raised by the Fennellites in re-
latiOn to the quo warrantO proceedings,
which they rely upon TO defeat the oppO-
sition in case the decision as to the legal
ity is against them Ia the case of an
election Of commissioned officials Il con
test cannot lie after the commission has
been issued by the governor, and the only
remedy is to hold an inquiry and
then take a quo warrantO writ.
The Fennellites claim that the swearing
in of the commissioners was practically a
substitute for commissions and therefore
the contest cannot lie.
To this the answer is a denial shat
swearing in means a commission, and the
fact that notice of the proposed contest
was given before the present commission
ers were indicted into office In view of
the want of authorities on the case in
issue Judge Falligant's decision is likely
TO be in the nature of precedent. If the
decision is against the Fennellites an APP
peal TO the supreme court will follow. and
the case will be as far off as ever from
determination.
