Nevertheless F., claiming still to be judge of K. & Q. county, and to be entitled to the salary as such, applied to this court for a mandamus to compel the supervisors of K. & Q. to pay it.</p> <p>Held :</p> <p>F. is no longer judge of K. &. Q. county court, and is of course not entitled to receive a salary as such.</p>
