  4. McKenzie v. City of Florence et al

    234 S.C. 428 (S.C. 1959)   Cited 30 times
    In McKenzie v. City of Florence, 234 S.C. 428, 108 S.E.2d 825 (1959), decided some four years after plaintiff's injuries were sustained, we rejected a similar plea by a plaintiff who undertook to sue the City of Florence for the allegedly tortious conduct of its police officers.

    The appellant also contends because the City of Florence and National Surety Corporation entered into a bond "for the use and benefit of the police department" such constitutes a waiver of sovereign immunity up to the amount of the bond. In the case of Brooks v. One Motor Bus, 190 S.C. 379, 3 S.E.2d 42, 43, this Court said: "As we understand the rule relating to the immunities attaching to sovereignty, such attributes are never to be considered as waived or surrendered by any inference or implication.
