In January, 1895, the relator, who was a veteran fireman, held the position of assistant warrant clerk in the office of the comptroller of the city of Brooklyn. He was removed from that position by the comptroller, without cause shown or hearing had; and, to procure his reinstatement, he instituted this mandamus proceeding.
