place of trust or profit

place of trust or profit
A term comprehensive in the broad sense of public officers, fiduciaries, even corporate officers, but having a particular application m reference to ineligibility for a public office. A position which, although not a public office, occupies the same general level in dignity and importance. As an office has some relations to the public, so must places of trust and profit involve the exercise of functions affecting the public, in order to constitute a disqualification for other similar places. Doyle v Aldermen of Raleigh, 89 NC 133. See placemen.
