People ex rel. Dougherty v. Wurster

35 N.Y.S. 88 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1895

PRATT, J.

Relator cannot be properly said to be a member of the force for extinguishing fires, but was employed, as his appointment shows, as a laborer. Taking the case of People v. Fire Com’rs, 28 Hun, 495, as the true interpretation of the law, the relator cannot be said to be a member of the fire force, but comes under the designation of those who can be removed with charge and a trial.

Writ quashed. All concur.
