Flock Wins.


The New Jersey supreme court has
dismissed the proceedings brought by
Marshal Woolley, ex-nayor Of Long
Branch, for a writ of certiorari to
review and have set aside action of
the city commissioners of that city in
unseating him and electing John w.
Flock to the office. The attitude tax en-
by the court upon which the opinion
is based is that the position of mayor
of a community is that of an officer"
land not a position, and therefore,
q writ OF quo warranto should be
asked for to contest the right of the
holder.
Flock was a member of the Long
Branch citv commission at the time
lof his elevation by resolution of the
commissioners to the office of may or
The court holds that certiorari pro-
reedings in such an instance were
wrong, they being applicable to cases
where position and not offices
are at stake 1t is claimed that quo
warranto proceedings are the only
direct and adequate remedy for the
trial and det erlnination of title to
a public office The opinion states
that Flock is the mayor and has been
so recognized by everyone, which
makes quo warranto the proper pro-
ceeding in the case.

Bobbitt Wins Suit

The replevin suit of State Editor
B. B. Bobbitt against the Ideal Gar
age company of Long Branch, result
ing from the seizure of Dodge car
for an alleged claim of $49uS last Sep
tember. ended in a verdict for the
plaintiff Friday afternoon and an
award by the jury of $400 to Mr.. Bob
bitt. The trial. before Judge Law
renee, lasted most of Thursday and
Friday. 1t was about half completed
a month ago when a juror. Ralph
Bowman. of Port Monmouth, ques
toned s. Heimlich of the garage com-
pany about alleged inconsistencies
between statement he was making
and statements he had made to him.
and Judge Lawrence declared mis-
trial. Heiinlich was also on trial IN
Freehold last November on an lndict-
ment for larceny for seizing the car,
when the jury, after being out a loag
time, disagreed, and Mr.. Bobbltt was
awarded nominal damages in tres
pass suit against Mr. Heimlich in the
Long Branch district court.
The plaintiffs contention was that
the bill was incorrect, that items were
charged for covered by guarantee,
that a tire was charged for that was
never delivered and that the garage
company really owed him money
when the ear was seized for damages
done when it had been stolen from
the Ideal Garage conpany's garage
by employees when it was there for
repairs. A jury in the Long Branch
district court in November awarded
Mr.. Bobbitt 800 for these damages.
There was special interest in these
cases because they were the first in
Monmouth county under the garage
mems act of 1915 under which a gar
rage owner can seize and hold any
ones car at any time under any
claim, correct or false, and for gas or
supplies furnished.
Thomas p. Fay was counsel for Mr..
Bobbitt in all these cases and Harold
Morford counsel for the garage com
pany and Mr. Heimlich.
