The questions involved are the same, except as to the canal tolls, and that one is fully covered by what is said in the opinion filed in Credle\u2019s case. This being so, it is unnecessary to discuss the \u25a0matter further, as it would be a mere repetition of what has already been said in that case.\nIt would serve no useful purpose to go over in detail the excellent briefs filed by the counsel in these cases, as what we have said in the opinions filed by us at this term in the above case and Comrs. v. Davis, ante, 140, covers fully the entire ground of inquiry and investigation.\nThe judgment is therefore reversed, as the defendant is not entitled to the commissions or compensation he claims, and it will be so certified.\nReversed.",

    "head_matter": "DRAINAGE COMMISSIONERS v. CHARLES BRINN, Treasurer, et al.\n(Filed 9 November, 1921.)\nDrainage Districts \u2014 County Treasurer \u2014 Commissions\u2014Bonds.\nThe claim of the treasurer of the county for commissions derived from assessments in Mattamuskeet Drainage District is not allowed on this appeal, under the decision of Oomrs. v. Oredle, ante, 442, which also covers the question as to commissions on the receipt and disbursement of canal tolls by him.\nAppeal by plaintiff from Bond, J., at chambers, 2 July, 1921, from Beaufort.\nThis is- a controversy between the board of drainage commissioners of Mattamuskeet District in Hyde County and Charles Brinn, treasurer of Hyde County prior to the first Monday in December, 1916, and S. S. Mann, receiver; submitted without action upon agreed facts.\nIt is admitted that plaintiff is a duly constituted drainage corporation, created under the general drainage law, ch. 442, Public Laws of North Carolina, Session of 1909, and that prior to the first Monday in December, 1916, defendant Brinn was treasurer of Hyde County.\nThe only questions for the Court\u2019s consideration are:\n1. Was defendant, as treasurer of Hyde County, entitled to commissions of one-half of one per cent for receiving $84,970.03, derived from assessments levied in Mattamuskeet Drainage District for payment, of bonds issued for construction work?\n2. Was defendant, as treasurer of Hyde County, entitled to commissions of one-half of one per cent for receiving $14,997.14, derived from assessments levied in said district for maintenance, and commissions of two and one-half per cent for disbursing $8,666.84 of such maintenance assessments ?\n3. Was defendant, as treasurer of Hyde County, entitled to commissions of one-half of one per cent for receiving and commissions of two and one-half per- cent for disbursing $305.43 of canal tolls collected, in said district.\nThe plaintiff board of drainage commissioners contends that the defendant treasurer was not entitled to such commissions. The defendant treasurer contends that he was thereto entitled.\nThe court below held with defendant, and plaintiff appealed.\nSpencer & Spencer and SmcCll, MacLean, Bragaw & Rodman for plaintiff.\nMann & Mann and Darnel & Garter for defendant."
