Humphries v. Lawson
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Humphries v. Lawson, 2 Ark. 341 (Ark. 1847)
Oldham
Humphries v. Lawson
Opinion of the Court
We are not aware of any law authorizing the circuit court to compel a sheriff to amend, or make a particular return. It is the privilege of the sheriff to amend if he should desire to do so, but he Cannot be compelled to return a particular state of facts; especially when he denies that those facts exist. If he make a! false return the law affords the injured party a remedy, by which he may obtain ample redress. Judgment affirmed.
