Board Pub. Inst. Lafayette Co. v. Am. Seating Co.

Supreme Court of Florida, En Banc
Aug 5, 1930
130 So. 42 (Fla. 1930)

Opinion

Decision filed August 5, 1930.

A Writ of Error to the Circuit Court for Lafayette County; M. F. Horne, Judge.

Padgett McDonald, for Plaintiff in Error;

Davis Pepper, for Defendant in Error.


Judgment was rendered herein against the Board of Public Instruction for Lafayette County upon a promissory note purporting to have been executed by such board. Even if the note legally evidences an indebtedness of the County Board of Public Instruction, there is no showing that the indebtedness was duly incurred solely for the support and maintenance of public free schools as required by the Constitution.

Reversed.

TERRELL, C. J., AND WHITFIELD, STRUM AND BUFORD, J. J., concur.
