Lieutenant Governor Gleason’s answer to: the rule nisi, says he ought not to be made to show by what, authority, he holds the cjffice> of Lieutenant-Governor by reason of any thing contained in the? jufornfatifaTi oirfile in this case, because the Court has no powir or jurisdiction to order a rule >i is/, because the. Conrt has no original jurisdiction to grant leave to file an information of the. nature of a quo icarranto; because the Court has no orig inal jurisdiction under the Constitution and laws to issue writs of quo warranto or to tTy proceedings thereon; because the power given said Court, if gftren at all by the Constitution to issue write of quo warranto, can only be used as auxiliary to (he exercise of appellate. jurisdiction; because A. S. Meeker,represent ed as Attorney, General of the State in the papers served, was appointed by Gov. Heed, after his impeachment,, that if the Court has jurisdiction over the. information and quo usrranto, it should not, in this case, grant the writ, as public- policy, and interest do not re quire or demand it, but on (he contrary re quire that it should be denied; that Harrison Heed has caused.'the .motion for' (hewrit from malicious and vindictive motives arid to gratify a spirit of revenge and rt crimination against said Gleason, because he, Heed, knew at the time of the eieetion-how long Gleason had been a citizen of the State, and. advoca ted his election, and' had at “that (tins frill knowledge of all focte set forth in said irifor- mation; because, the Constitution has given power to the Assembly to imp'eaoh the Lien-' tenant-Govemor, arid lie Senate has power to try him and remove 'him from office; that said body will soon be in session and exercise the jlower if deemed necessary. He says that for the above and divers, other reasons, the rule against him should not issue, and the proceedings in the case should be quash ed.
