Drainage Commissioners v. Brinn
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided November 9, 1921 · Walker
109 S.E. 90; 182 N.C. 447; 1921 N.C. LEXIS 247 (South Eastern Reporter)

Drainage Commissioners v. Brinn

Opinion of the Court

Walker, J.,

after stating the facts: It will be perceived on a perusal of this case that it is not substantially unlike Drainage Com. v. Credle, *448 ante, 442. The questions involved are the same, except as to the canal tolls, and that one is fully covered by what is said in the opinion filed in Credle’s case. This being so, it is unnecessary to discuss the ■matter further, as it would be a mere repetition of what has already been said in that case.

It would serve no useful purpose to go over in detail the excellent briefs filed by the counsel in these cases, as what we have said in the opinions filed by us at this term in the above case and Comrs. v. Davis, ante, 140, covers fully the entire ground of inquiry and investigation.

The judgment is therefore reversed, as the defendant is not entitled to the commissions or compensation he claims, and it will be so certified.

Reversed.
