Craven v. State
Craven v. State
Opinion of the Court
The complaint filed by the solicitor in the circuit court in this case proceeds under section 7737 of the Code of 1907. By act approved September 20, 1915, Acts 1915, p. 623, this section of the Code was repealed.
It was not necessarily a violation of the law to fail to work the public roads after legal notice, as under the ordinance of the commissioners’ court one has the right to either work the required time or pay $5. As to whether this was done in this case it is unnecessary to decide, as under the complaint a conviction cannot be had. This being a misdemeanor, and any further prosecution being barred, the judgment must be reversed, and a judgment here-rendered, discharging the defendant.
Reversed and rendered.
