        "text": "Mr. Justice Cartwright\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nAn information in the nature of a quo warranto was filed by the State\u2019s attorney of Cook county, on the relation of Patrick J. Dunne, against the appellant, charging that he had usurped and intruded himself into the office of justice of the peace of the town of Lake, in Chicago, Cook county. The circuit court found the defendant not guilty. That judgment was reversed by the Appellate Court and the cause' was remanded, with directions to enter a judgment of ouster against appellant, with a nominal fine.\nThe questions involved in this case are the same as in the case of People ex rel. v. O\u2019Toole, (ante, p. 344.) The appellant was recommended by the judges of the courts of record of Cook county to succeed himself in the office of justice of the peace. The Governor appointed and commissioned, as the successor of appellant, one John Fitzgerald, who had not been recommended as such successor, but who was recommended to succeed one J. J. Hennessy, and said Fitzgerald was designated by the county clerk to succeed appellant.\nWe have held in the case of People ex rel. v. O\u2019Toole that the Governor has no power to appoint to the office of justice of the peace any person other than the one recommended by a majority of the judges, and that the county clerk has no power to designate what office the person appointed shall hold. The decision |n that case will control the judgment in this, and the judgment of the Appellate Court will therefore be reversed and that of the circuit court affirmed.\nT * * Judgment reversed.",
