Summary

In Edwards v. Carroll, 163 Wn. 704, 300 P. 1048, we dismissed the action of Mayor Edwards for injunctive relief for the reason that Judge Fullerton was incapacitated at his home in Olympia on account of illness, and, as the eight remaining judges were divided in their opinions and there was no majority either for affirmance or for reversal, we affirmed the judgment of the trial court.
