Rogers v. Lee County

Opinion

Mr. Justicp: Grier

delivered the opinion of the court.

In this case the court instructed the jury that “under the evidence the bonds issued were without authority and were void.”

The facts of this case, and the question of law arising thereon, are the same in substance as those in the preceding case of Rogers *548 v. City of Keokuk. Without again repeating our reasons — it is ordered, that the judgment be reversed, and a venire de novo be awarded. Reversed.

Mr. F. A. Dick for plaintiff in error. Mr. J. C. Hall for defendant in error.
