R. R. v. Commissioners of Richmond

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Jan 1, 1876
74 N.C. 83 (N.C. 1876)

Opinion

January Term, 1876.

This was an APPEAL from the decision of the defendant, the Board of Commissioners of Richmond County, heard before his Honor, Judge Buxton, at Fall Term, 1785, of the Superior Court of (84) RICHMOND County.

Steel Walker, Strange and Busbee Busbee, for the appellant.

Shaw and Hinsdale, contra.


(Same syllabus as in the next preceding case of Wade v. The Commissioners of Craven, which is cited and approved.)


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

The ground upon which the appeal was based was, an excessive valuation of the property of the plaintiff for taxation. No error in matter of law was alleged as ground for the appeal.

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


The only points presented by this record are decided in Wade v. Commissioners of Craven County, ante, 81.

We refer to that decision for the reasons which induce us to declare, that the judgment of his Honor in this case is affirmed.

PER CURIAM. Judgment affirmed.
