Argued January 16, 1934
Decided April 6, 1934.
Before Beogan, Chief Justice, and Justices Tbenchabd and Hehee, .
For the relator, Arthur T. Vanderbilt.
For the respondents, Edwin J. G. Joerg.

Opinion:
Peb Cubiam.
The relator, the county treasurer of the county of Essex, obtained a rule to show cause why a peremptory writ of mandamus should not issue to compel the designated officers and governing body of the town of Nutley, in the county of Essex, to pay the state and county taxes then in default, to the relator.
The factual situation in this case, so far as the decision of the case is concerned, is in effect similar to that in Booth v. Parnell, 12 N. J. Mis. R. 413, and the principles of law applicable thereto are to be found in that decision which is plainly here controlling.
The rule to show cause in this ease will be made absolute and a peremptory writ accordingly granted.
It being made to appear without dispute that, after the rule to show cause was allowed, the relator named in the original petition resigned from the office of county treasurer of the county of Essex; that his resignation has been accepted and his successor, Zenas Crane, has been appointed and duly qualified and is therefore now the duly qualified treasurer of the county, the writ therefore will run in the name of Zenas Crane, county treasurer of the county of Essex, and will require respondents to pay to that named official the state and county taxes.
