Melone v. State
California Supreme Court
Melone v. State, 51 Cal. 549 (Cal. 1876)
Melone v. State
Opinion of the Court
This action was brought for the recovery of the salary provided by law for the Secretary of State as a member of the State Board of Examiners. Upon the grounds on which it was held in Love v. Baehr (47 Cal. 364), that the Attorney-General was entitled to a salary as a member of the same board, we are of the opinion that the Secretary of State is entitled to the salary provided for by section 684 of the Political Code.
Judgment and order affirmed. Bemittitur forthwith.
