By the Court, Marcy, J.

¶1The remedy of a person conceiving himself aggrieved by a school district meeting, or by the trustees of a school district, is by appeal to the Commissioners of common schools of the town in which the district is situated. (Laws of 1827, ch. 15, tit. 2, s. 110.) If the commissioners should err in their decision, a certiorari to them would probably lie. The motion is granted, with costs.
