Syllabus

<p>Monet Received. Recovery of payment. Double pay. Reward. Expenses for returning fugitive. Allowance by county.</p> <p>■Where plaintiff in pursuance of a contract paid defendant his expenses incurred in arresting a fugitive from justice and bringing him back to this state for trial, a subsequent allowance of such expenses to defendant by the county does not entitle plaintiff to recover the sum paid by him, although defendant fraudulently obtained the allowance from the county by falsely representing that his expenses had not been paid by any one.</p>
