Opinion

To compel the payment of certain ditch- orders, where there was no money in the fund on which they were drawn and the collection of the assessment had been judicially restrained as illegal.

Denied January 22, 1878.

Held, that such orders are not general township charges, and although the assessment was payable into the town treasury, it still remained a separate fund, and such orders could only be paid out of the particular assessments on the credit of which they were drawn.
