Watkins vs.. Nenablc. Opinion by
Judge Buchanan.

The CommonWeath's Attorney o
Pmce Edward county, at the relation
of +. j. Whitehead, applied to the
Judge of the Circuit Court for a writ of
quo warranto, the object of which was
To test the right and authority of
Woodson Neuable To the Office of Clerk
of the Circuit Court of Prince Edward
county. The relator was elected Clerk
of the county and OK ollicio Clerk of the
Circuit Court of Prince Edward county
in July, 1880, and upon the return of
the census of 1900, which showed that
the county had population of over
$4,000 inhabitants, Nenable was APP
pointed Clerk of the Circuit Court by
the Judge of that court The writ was
refused 10y the Circuit Judge.
The proceeding to obtain writ Of
quo warranto is discussed in the opin-
ion, and the conclusion reached that
the supreme Court of Appeals has no
original jurisdiction in such cases
The writ is the first notice that the
defendant has of the proceeding, and /
he does not become a party until the
writ is awarded.
An applicant for the writ is not en-
titled to it as matter of law, but
whether it shall be awarded or not Is
subject in considerable degree To the
exercise of wise judicial discretion.
The statute in reference To- this writ
Code, chapter ll5, was not intended to
narrow the use Of the writ and make
Il less comprehensive than the COM
non law proceedings Of quo warranto,
md it applies to a case like this,
where the incumbent Of the Office is
Executing his duties under some color
# right and some pretence of title.
Section !, Article VII, of the Con-
titution, and section 93 of the Code,
he construed, and the conclusion is J
cached that " here, 10y the last general
ensus preceding the election of clerks,
ny county contain less population !
han $1,000 clerk Of the County Court ,
My shall he elected who is ex-oilicio
Jerk of the Circuit Court during his
srm ofollice. IL before the next gem D.

'nsus has been taken, by which it
ppears that the popu alton of the T.
'unty is 5000 or more, then at such 81
