Appellees were appointed by the Clay Circuit Court to assist in defending Jesse Sluder on a charge of murder, then pending in said court, which prosecution resulted in the conviction of said Sluder and his imprisonment for life in the state iirison. a claim for the services so rendered was presented to the board of commissioners of said county by appellees, which claim was by that body disallowed. Whereupon appellees appealed to the circuit court, in which court they obtained a judgment. Prom that judgment this appeal is taken.
