Judgment of insanity of officeholder vacates office.

When the incumbent of any office is, upon a proceeding in lunacy, adjudged to be of unsound mind, such office is vacated, and the judge of probate must certify the vacancy to the appointing power; but, if such proceeding is thereafter revoked or annulled, the officer shall, upon his own request, be restored to office.
