Missouri Court of Appeals November 16, 1908 (Johnson v. Scott)

ELLISON, J.

Plaintiff’s petition is founded on the malicious prosecution of a civil action. The defendant had judgment in the trial court.

It appears that defendant was a road overseer of one of the road districts in Knox county, and that he instituted suit before a justice of the peace against this plaintiff for two dollars alleged to be due as a poll tax under the road law.
