Morrison Waite,
County Court of Knox County Missouri v…
“ The mandamus applied for in that case was one 'requiring the county court and the justices thereof to direct the clerk of the county to draw a warrant on the county treasurer for the balance of the judgment remaining unpaid, so that he might be enabled, on its presentation, to have it paid in its order out of the county treasury,' and there was no fund out of which the payment could be made, except that raised by taxation for ordinary county uses. By the judgment of this court, such a mandamus was awarded. ”
