Opinion

majority opinion

To compel respondents to recognize relators as justices of the peace, and part of the township board.

Denied November 11, 1891, without costs.

[Respondents insisted that relators were not regularly elected and duly qualified justices of the peace.

Held, that an answer denying allegations of fact made in the petition is decisive on a hearing on petition and answer. Also, that the township board cannot in this proceeding question the election or qualification of justices, who have acted as such for more than a year.
