People's Bank v. Greenville County

The opinion of the Court was delivered by Mr. ChiEE Justice Jones. The appeal is from an order sustaining a demurrer to a complaint in which a creditor of Greenville county sues the county upon a contract. *299 The sole question is whether the Court of Common Pleas has original jurisdiction in a suit against a county based upon a contract. Appellant concedes that the case of Cunninghim v. Clarendon County, 81 S. C., 201, 62 S. E., 212, is conclusive of the question and requests that the case be overruled. After consideration we adhere to the rule stated in that case. The judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
