Syllabus

<p>1. Board of Supervisors. Jurisdiction. Site for court-house.</p> <p>The power to provide court-houses, and to acquire sites therefor, is confided in this state exclusively to the hoards of supervisors of the several counties, and their want of discretion and sound judgment in the exercise of this power will not warrant an interference hy the courts.</p> <p>2. Same. Court-houses. Purchase of new sites.</p> <p>The fact that the county already owns one such site does not affect the right of the hoard to purchase another, whenever in its judgment the occasion arises for huilding a new court-house.</p>
