“ Whenever a judgment is rendered against the board of county commissioners of a county, no execution shall issue, but the judgment 'shall be levied and collected by tax, as other county charges, and, when so collected, shall be paid by the county treasurer to the person to whom the same shall be adjudged, upon the delivery of the proper voucher therefor.' 1 id. ”

“ As the corporation can only act through its agents, the courts will operate upon the agents through the corporation.
