1Opinion of the CourtCorlett, J.
On the 7th day of May, 1883, the mayor appointed Michael Newell a police commissioner of the city of Buffalo for the term of six years, he at once qualified and entered upon the discharge of the duties of his office. In July, 1884, the people, through the attorney general, brought an action in the supreme court for the purpose of ousting him from office upon the sole ground that he was an alien not a citizen of the United States, and therefore disqualified from holding the position or discharging the duties of police commissioner, the complaint was framed upon that theory and assumption.
