Syllabus

<p>Drainage — Assessments—Mandamus to Compel — Limitation op Actions. The right of a county to make an assessment on property benefited by a drain being barred by the lapse of ten years, a proceeding by holders of void warrants to compel the county by mandamus to make a reassessment is barred by the lapse of the same time.</p> <p>Same — Refusal. In such a ease, the fact that the commissioners, upon request made, had not refused to proceed, would not affect the running of the statute, as the property owners could successfully make the defense.</p>
