Martin v. Cheek

Opinion of the Court by

Judge Latimer

Issuing writ.

On December 4, 1948, a petition signed by the petitioners herein and some 1800 others was filed in the office of the Clerk of the Boyle County Court. The petition requested the Judge of the Boyle County Court to enter an order calling a local option election in Danville to be held on February 5, 1949. On that same day, which was at a special or called term of court, the respondent, S. B. Cheek, Jr., Judge of the Boyle County Court, entered an order calling the election as per the request in the petition.

It appears that nothing more was done…
