NO REDRESS
FOR HIS
REMOVAL
Appellate Court Decides Case
Of Former Policeman Oonahue
Against Cumberland Council

According 10 an opinion filed today In
the appellate division of the Supreme
court John Donahue. at one time police
officer In tho town OF Cumberland. has no
redress against the town council OF the
town OF Cumberland, which removed him
from office.
The opinion Of the court was: "We
think that the discretion conferred upon
the town council of Cumberland by chap
ter <6 OF the Public Laws Is final.
The statute provides that upon charges
made In writing and aftor notice and op-
portunity TO be heard, the town counCii
may remove certain officers for "miscon
duct or incapacity OF such character az
the town council may deem a disqualif-
cation" for the office
1.-THE definition OF the qualifications OF n
police officer In a legislative, not "A judi
cial function. and the settling the quaIiil-
cations In as much a part Of the act "t
the town council as the decision whether
OF not the person In question possesses
them. From the nature OF this power no
appellate court can Nxeroise It,"
The reason given by the council for re
moving Donahue was 10 the effect that he
knew OF the illegal sale OF liquor and did
not report II. and to use the language OF
his own counsel that he grated" His
de Tense was that the move was made not
for incapacity on his part. but for politi-
cal reasons on trumped-up charge.
