Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided March 4, 1942 · Devin
19 S.E.2d 9; 221 N.C. 63; 1942 N.C. LEXIS 391 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Freeman v. Board of County Commissioners

Opinion of the Court

Devin, J.

Tbe facts upon which tbe order appealed from was based are tbe same as those fully set out in State ex rel. Hill v. Ponder and Rice, ante, 58. In tbat case tbe title to tbe public office of tax collector of Madison County was directly in issue, and it was there adjudicated tbat Roy Wade Ponder was tbe duly elected tax collector in and for Madison County, and tbat tbe attempted election of John P. Rice by defendant Board was without authority and of no effect. Hence tbe order of tbe court below restraining defendant Board from making payment of public funds to John P. Rice as tax collector must be

Affirmed.
