Supreme Court of Pennsylvania November 12, 1866 (Debolt v. Dunkard School District)

The opinion of the court was delivered, by

Agnew, J.

These writs of error present precisely the same question. They will therefore be considered together. In several cases decided at this term, we have held that the general bounty laws of 1864 confer an authority, but impose no duty upon the several townships to pay bounties.
