Judge Sloss’ opinion is a very short one. .He does not go into the question of- wheéther a Public Administrator shall ‘hold office for four years. Jle says, in referring to Hynes' vontention, that Farmham had no rights In the premises; that the. former Public Ad- ministrator, on January 8, gave up the office and for a week after Hynes took possession did nothing that would in- |-dicate that he intended contesting his Y | successor’s claim. | He further says that Hynes properly qualified and based his claim to the .office on a valid certificate of election.
