Where a police regulation specifically empowers the mayor of the city to order the summary removal of an occupant from a house for certain causes, and subjects such occupant to penalties for disobedience, and it does not appear that the mayor has ever ordered her removal, she has not committed the act of disobedience that brings her within the jurisdiction of the police court.
