BOARD OF EDUCATION OF GRAHAM COUNTY v. D. ANDERSON and S. A. CRISP.
    (Filed 19 December, 1930.)
    Judgments P c — Judgment in this case held erroneous as being inconsistent.
    Where the county board of education orders the removal of school committeemen, C. S., 5458, who appeal under the provisions of C. S., 5427, the judgment of the Superior Court judge holding the act of the board of education in removing the committeemen invalid and dismissing the appeal for want of jurisdiction is inconsistent and erroneous.
    Appeal by plaintiff from Hanvood, Special Judge, at September Term, 1930, of Graham.
    Proceeding to remove D. Anderson and S. A. Crisp as school committeemen of Yellow Creek Township, Graham County, for cause under 3 C. S., 5458.
    From an order of removal made by the county board of education of Graham County, the said committeemen appealed to the Superior Court, asserting their right to do so under 3 C. S., 5427.
    
      From a judgment dismissing the appeal for want of jurisdiction, but bolding that the action of the board of education in removing said committeemen, was invalid and without force and effect, the board of education of Graham County appeals, assigning error.
    
      Dillard & Hill for plaintiff.
    
    
      B. L. Phillips for defendants.
    
   Stacy, C. J.

There was error in dismissing the appeal for want of jurisdiction, and at the same time holding that the order of removal made by the board of education was void. The two rulings would seem to be inconsistent.

Error.
