July 2, 1894 · Illinois Appellate Court

54 Ill. App. 208

County of Cook v. Napoleon Barsaloux, for use, etc.

1. Counties—Audit of Bills.—The judgment affirmed upon the authority of County of Cook v. Ryan, 51 Ill. App. 190.

Memorandum.—Assumpsit. Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. Nathaniel C. Sears, Judge, presiding.

Heard in this court at the March term, 1894,

and affirmed.

Opinion filed July 2, 1894.

Edward J. Judd, county attorney, for appellant.

George P. Merrick, attorney for appellee.

Mr. Justice Gary

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The pleadings on the part of the appellee display considerable originality, but are saved by the stereotyped count for goods sold and delivered.

The appellee proved that he sold and delivered goods to the county, rendered bills, and that the bills were audited and ordered paid by the Board of County Commissioners, as in County of Cook v. Ryan, 51 Ill. App. 190.

He has recovered—why does not appear—-more than $300 less than the amount of the bills so ordered paid.

The parties have made their arguments as to the validity of warrants on the county treasury issued to the appellee, but in the view we take of the case it is unnécessary to .consider that question.

The judgment is affirmed on the authority of the case cited.
