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.

Petition dismissed.
