State Ex Inf. Attorney-General v. Joyce

Quo warranto brought by the Attorney-General to test the title of defendant to the office of j'ustice of the peace of Kaw Township, in Jackson County, Missouri. Defendant and seven others were duly elected as justices of the peace in and for said township at the general election held in 1922, for terms of four years. Defendant’s title to that office, as well as that of each of the others, depends solely upon whether the provisions of Section 2688, Revised Statutes 1919, under which the elections for justices of the peace in Kaw Township were held in 1922., had prior to that date been repealed.
