W. L. Slayton & Co. v. Board of Commissioners

This is an action against the Board of Commissioners of Cabarrus County to recover possession of a certified check for $500 deposited with the defendants as-evidence of good faith in making a bid for $50,000 county home bonds issued by the county. Plaintiffs subsequently refused to take said bonds, which defendants were compelled to sell at a loss of $3,790, and defendants set up a counterclaim for said amount of loss and $200 attorney’s fees in finding another purchaser and effecting a sale to other parties, and retained said cheek to be applied on such counterclaim.
