delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is a mandamus suit, brought in the chancery-court of Gibson county, to compel the county judge of that county to issue a warrant to pay for certain preliminary expenses incurred in connection with the proposed formation of a drainage district. This expenditure was authorized by the Gibson county quarterly court, under the authority of chapter 185 of the Acts of 1909.
The resolution appropriated $2500 out of the general county fund for the purpose, and directed the county judge to draw warrants for said expenses, which he refused to do.
