Description
1. In order to determine the standard of proof required to remove a member of a county commission or to hold him personally liable for misappropriated funds, W.Va. Code, 11-8-26 [1963], 11-8-29 [1933] and 11-8-31 [1933] must be read in pari materia. Under these sections a commissioner may be removed from office upon proof of negligent misappropriation and can be required to reimburse the county upon proof of wilful misappropriation. 2. Where a county official incurs a loss in the discharge of his official duty in a matter in which the county has an interest, and in the discharge of a duty imposed or authorized by law and in good faith, the county has the power to appropriate funds to reimburse him, unless expressly forbidden.
