The opinion

Reade, J.

C. C. P., sec. 67, provides that actions against public officers shall be brought in the county where the cause of action arose. And we have already said in two cases

Johnson

v.

Commissioners of Cleaveland,

67 N. C. Rep. 101 , and

Alexander

v.

Commissioners of McDowell,

Ibid. 330, that suits against county commissioners ought to be brought in the county of which they are commissioners.

That is the only point in this case.

There is no error.
