Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

It is not necessary to decide whether the county judge had authority to hear or determine the motion to discharge the attachment, since, assuming he had jurisdiction, he determined it wrongly.

The official bond of the defendant as county treasurer was an obligation for the direct payment of money. (San Francisco v. Brader, 50 Cal. 506; Hathaway v. Davis, 83 Cal. 161.)

Order appealed from reversed.
