By way of analogy we have applied the doctrine of laches as a defense in mandamus suits. See McDermott v. Alger, 186 Mich. 278; Gerweck v. Monroe County Treasurer, 317 Mich. 53. In at least 2 quo warranto cases the doctrine of laches has been held available as a defense by the supreme court of Illinois.
