1Opinion of the Court
Rumsey, J.:
The relator was charged with drunkenness on duty. Upon his trial evidence was given which tended strongly to sustain the charges,- and, although there was evidence in contradiction, the commissioners, upon a-consideration of the whole case, found the relator guilty and sentenced him to be dismissed from the police force. The testimony was conflicting,, and a jury wrould certainly have been warranted in finding that the case against the relator was established. The conclusion of the police commissioners upon the fact that the relator was guilty, therefore, must be affirmed.
