Decided 1889-05-25

C. B. Smith, J.

¶1I concur in affirming this judgment, but I place my judgment expressly and solely on the ground that it would now be against public policy and the best interest of the district to again open up this controversy after the lapse of so long a time. The people ought to be estopped under the particular facts in this case. I do not think the statute of limitations can be invoked to bar the action.
