This was an appear from the decision of the defendant, the Board of Commissioners of Richmond county, heard before *84bis Honor, Judge Buxton, at Fall Term, 1875, of the Superior Court of Richmond county.

As the case was decided in this court upon a question of law, it is unnecessary to report the facts.

Upon the hearing, his Honor, upon motion of the defendant’s counsel, dismissed the proceeding on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction thereof. From’this judgment'the plaintiff appealed. ■.
