Livingston County v. Dunn

Opinion of the Court by

Stanley, Commissioner

Affirming in part, reversing in part.

Burse B. Dunn was the sheriff of Livingston County from 1922 to 1925, inclusive. The County had no treasurer and the sheriff paid claims out of funds in his hand. For some of them he was currently issued warrants, or what- are called “deficits”, in reimbursement; others, were paid out on orders of the fiscal court. As a special agent or treasurer he received money donated for road, construction. When final settlement was undertaken for the years 1924 and 1925 there was “confusion worse confounded” in the accounts.
