JOHN COTTER vs. TOWN COUNCIL OF CUMBERLAND.

Certiorari. Review. Statute of Limitations. A petition for certiorari is analogous to a petition for a new trial where the time for review is limited to one year.

PER CURIAM.

This petition is for certiorari, alleging an illegal removal from office, as a member of the paid police department, in September, 1899.

The lapse of so long a time, notwithstanding the allegation of ignorance of his rights, is fatal to the allowance of the writ. It must be deemed as an acquiescence and waiver of objection.

The petition is analogous to a petition for a new trial where the time for review is limited to one year.

See 4 Ency. Pl. Pr., pp. 130-132.
