The opinion

Sutherland, P. J.

I concur in the conclusion.

Leonard, P. J.

It is wholly inconsistent to find an officer guilty of neglect of duty for absence during the time he was unlawfully dismissed from service. The officer was not guilty of any offence for being absent at such time. The judgment ought to be affirmed with costs.

Order of special term affirmed, and copviction reversed.
