Beatty, C. J., dissenting.
If the decision, filed August 4th, in People v. Toal, ante, p. 333, from which I dissented, is to stand, the judgment in this case must be affirmed. For, under the doctrine there announced, all the provisions of the present charter of Stockton relating to its municipal court are null and void. But if the validity of those provisions is assumed, I cannot see how the conclusion can be avoided that the plaintiff is entitled to the compensation provided in the charter. It is not increasing his salary as city justice to pay him the salary of another office, the duties of which are cast upon him by a new appointment.
Behearing denied.
