beer decided by dudee JHmss II. Lay
in favor OF the defendant The suit
was for Sl,232 surplus fees, which the
county claimed should have been paid
into its treasury for the year 1890. The
matter was left to Referee Casey, of
Henry county, who reported the above
amount due the county. Mr. King
took the position that he was entitled
to the surplus for deputy hire. The
county, however, claimed that he had
forfeited the right to deputy hire, as
he had neglected to have the salary OF
an assistant fixed by the county court.
The defendant had paid into the county
treasury 1900, which represented the
surplus which he had retained during
former years. The county took an ap-
peal.
