The. Chancellor held in favor of the City of Memphis and this appeal has resulted.

This is a petition for writ of certiorari against the Pension Board of the City of Memphis stating that the action of the Pension Board in denying Mrs. Ruth Wyck-off credit for six years prior service was arbitrary and illegal.
