ABRAHAMSON, J.
(dissenting). This case might be used to illustrate the principle that two rights may work a wrong. The majority opinion persuasively explains why the decision of each trial court should be upheld. However, the combination of these trial court decisions results, in my opinion, in the appellants unnecessarily being denied their day in court. I would hold that the defect in the appellants’ pleadings was not jurisdictional and that the circuit judge had authority to hear a review of the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners. Also the facts in this case would justify the court in saying that the court-imposed six-months’ rule is not applicable here.
