People ex rel. Gambling v. Cholwell
New York Supreme Court
Decided August 15, 1857PublishedCited by 4 opinions
Application for a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the Police Commissioners, removing the relator from the office of policeman.
1Opinion of the Court
Davies, J. (orally.)
The writ of certiorari was improperly directed. Instead of the seven gentlemen being designated as “ Police Commissioners,” they should have been called “ Board of Police.” The writ must be so amended. The return to the writ is defective, as not being made by a majority of the hoard. Let a new return be filed to the amended writ before Hovemher 1.
