Syllabus

<p>1. On appeal from the County Commissioners to the Circuit Court, the only questions before that court are the errors of law and fact alleged in the grounds of appeal.</p> <p>2. The law does not require the Board of County Commissioners to demand further proof of a claim presented against the county, whore the proof submitted does not satisfy them of the correctness of the claim. The proviso to section 623, General Statutes, is permissive only.</p> <p>3. A claim presented by a practising physician against the county for fees for examining lunatics was properly rejected by the Board of County Commissioners, the claim not showing on its face that the lunatics were paupers, or that he had been called upon by a proper officer to make such examinations.</p> <p>4. Whether the Circuit Court can remand a case to the County Commis-. sioners for a new trial, not determined.</p>
