Counsel

M. Williamson, for Plaintiff in Error., Manning & Merriman, for the County.

Bryner v. Board of Supervisors

Opinion of the Court

Breese, J.

We cannot find any statute which in its terms, or by any construction it may have received, allowing sheriffs pay for the services here shown, or for stationery in any form. There is neither a legal or moral obligation on the counties to pay such charges. He who takes the office of sheriff, takes it cum onere.

The judgment is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
