No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Burnettterry
Burnett, J., delivered the opinion of the Court—Terry, C. J, concurring.
Mandamus to compel the defendant, as treasurer of Placer county, to pay the plaintiff, as clerk of said county, certain per centage upon the amount of poll and foreign miners’ tax col*204Ieeted in said county. The writ was dismissed by the District Court, and the plaintiff appealed.
The special act of the Legislature, approved April 4th, 1857, fixed the compensation of clerk at $3,000. We think this was intended in lieu of all fees for any and all services rendered for the county. The case comes within the spirit and intent of the act.
We think the judgment of the District Court should he affirmed.
