State ex rel. DeGeer v. Pierce
Opinion of the Court
There is filed on behalf of the appellant an elaborate brief covering all the matters considered by the court on the first hearing. We are satisfied with the conclusions before reached, as expressed in the opinion. It is strenuously contended, however, by counsel for the appellant, both in the ‘brief and on oral argument, that it does not appear that Barber county was damaged to the amount of $1,738.58, the
In the case of The State, ex rel., v. Burrows, 33 Kas. 10, it was held that
“An objection to the decision of a judge at chambers should be reduced to writing, and presented, to the judge for his allowance at the conclusion of the hearing when the decision was made, unless application is made for additional time, which may be given, but never to exceed 10 days. If no time is asked or given at the conclusion of the hearing before such judge, the parties are concluded, and are not thereafter entitled to present for allowance aftd have settled and signed a bill of exceptions.”
In the absence of a bill of exceptions containing the testimony, we cannot say that the court erred in fixing the value of the scrip at its face. It may have been presented to the county treasurer and paid. In various ways it could happen that the county might fail to secure the benefit of any defense it might have against an outstanding warrant.
The rehearing will be denied.
