Anderson v. Board of Commissioners , 25 Ohio St. (N.S.) 13 ( 1874 )

By the Court.

This writ must be refused. The statute under which the appointment was made, and in pursuance of which the service was rendered, makes no provision for compensation for such services. Where a service for the benefit of the public is required by law, and no provision for its payment is made, it must be regarded as gratuitous, and no claim for compensation can be enforced.

Writ refused.
