HOLDING OVER QUESTION. clip the
following from the Old North State:
We have BEEN furnished by one of the
counsel in the case with the following state
ment:
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
On the relation of VIM. NJ Shipp, Attorney
General, and on the complaint of Samuel
A. Kelly, Plaintiff VS. Pleasant r. Martin,
Defendant.
Kelly the old Sheriff of Davie county
elected in 1868. Martin is the Sheriff cleo
ted first Thursday in August, 1870, under
the act of Assembly ratified March, 1870.
The commissioners received the bond of
Martin and indicted him into Office. Kelly
claims to hold over and brings his suit.
The defendant answered and made the
following points:
1. That the term of plaintiffs Office ex
pired on 1st Monday in August 1870, and
that as he was elected by the qualified voters
of the county he was entitled to hold the
office.
2. That the plaintiff had failed to settle
the public taxes and to. produce the receipts
of the public tax officers, therefore, as he
was in law bound to do that, he had thereby
forfeited his office, if it had not already ex-
pired by its own terms of limitation-R.
Code, p. $50, sec. 0.
8. That plaintiff had forfeited any right
that he may have had to hold over, by be-
coming candidate for reelection.
4. That the action was improperly brought.
The case went to trial upon these issues lex
cept that it was found that Kelley after be
coming candidate for reelection with
drew before the day of election,) before
Henry, Judge at Fall T,rm 1870, of Davie
Superior Coult. Argued by Clement and
Price for plaintiff, and Furches for defen-
dant, when his Honor gave judgment for
plaintiff.
1t should be noted that is the first de-
cision of holding over in the State Kelly
is a democrat and Martin is republican.
