Holmes County v. Ellis

Per Curiam. —

The appellee was sheriff of Holmes County for the term including the years 1936 to 1939;. and this is an action by him against the county to recover a balance alleged to be due him for services rendered by him to the county’s circuit court and its board of supervisors during his term of office.

He was made, at the proper time, allowances by the circuit court and by the board of supervisors, for the services rendered, by him, and received payment therefor. But after his term of office expired he ascertained that he had been allowed less than his statutory payments for such services.
