J. L. Woodin vs.. the Board of County
Commissioners, on error from Allen
county. Judgment of lower court affirm
ed by the Supreme court of the State.
The decision above given will result in
the county recovering something over
$4,000 from ex-Sheriff WoOdin. The
money was originally received from the
county as fees in the celebrated tax sale
cases. which in common with the sheriffs
of other counties Mr.. Woodin charged
up according to the generally accepted
version of the law. The Commissioners
of this county were dissatisfied with the
charges and brought suit to recover.
The judgment of the District Court was
that the fees had been enormously
charged and the Supreme Court has
affirmed it. Other counties will now
probably bring 81 liar suits.
