Relator was appointed a regular patrolman on June 27, 1882, for a term of four years, which he fully served. He was permitted to hold over until October 17, 1895, when he was dropped. He claims reappointment, by implication, every four years. The circuit court gave him judgment for salary from October 17, 1895, to June 27, 1897. This was error. [State ex rel. Rife v. Hawes, p. 360 of this volume.]

The judgment of the circuit court is reversed and the writ quashed.
