While such actions have occasionally been permitted by private individuals, this has been done only under limited and special circumstances, none of which appear here. In Trigg v. Mansfield, 648 S.W.2d 946 (Tenn. App. 1982) the Court of Appeals permitted such a suit to proceed in the name of the State of Tennessee, where members of the county commission were also joined in the action and it was alleged that after learning of improper and unauthorized payments they failed to take any action. Cited in the Trigg case as authority for permitting such suits by private citizens were the cases of Bayless v. Knox County, 199 Tenn. 268, 286 S.W.2d 579 (1955) and Peeler v. Luther, 175 Tenn. 454, 135 S.W.2d 926 (1940).
