## Opinion text

Per Curiam.
It is apparent, from a reading of the evidence produced by the relator i pon his trial before the police commissioners, that he did not intend to commit a breach of discipline, but acted under a mistaken interpretation of his duty under the instructions which were given him by his captain.
Und r these circumstances we do not think that he should have been dismissed from the force, and such a.tion of the commissioners should be reversed.
