20 Ill. 126

Armsby v. Supervisors of Warren County

Opinion of the Court

Caton, J.

The statute does not compel the sheriff to keep an office open at the county seat, as it does the clerk. It permits him to occupy a room in the court house, but leaves it optional with him whether he will do so. He is under no obligation to provide for the public accommodation, as is the clerk, and we do not find any warrant in the statute for compelling the county to pay for his lights and fuel. The judgment of the Circuit Court must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
