DEpOsED LAY JUDGES TAKE ACTION.

MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS BEGUN TO COMPEL
RECOGNITION By THE COUNTY COURT.
The deposed Lay Judges Of Hudson County will
contest the constutIonaity OF the act OF the last
Legislature abolishing their office by mandamus
proceedings. Ex-Lay Judge Kenny yesterday OBJ
tanned from Justice Lippncott a rule to show cause
why a writ OF mandamus should not be issued re-
curing Judge Hudspeth to recognize him as a
member OF the Hudson County inferior Court OF
Comman Pleas. A copy of the order was served on
Judge Hudspeth yesterday. and he will forward 1t
to Attorney General stockton. The rule Is returna-
bla before the Supreme Court on April 20.
The point raised by the petitioner Is that he was
appointed under the Constitution on April !. l&s.
S1r term of five years, and is debarred from exer
c:slng the functions Of the. office This indicates
that the constitutonality Of the act will be as
sailed because it Is an office created under the
Prostitution and cannot be abolished by act Of the
| egisla lure and that the terms OF the deposed
Judges cannot be abridged
