Morhinners v. County Court
Illinois Supreme Court
Morhinners v. County Court, 59 Ill. 159 (Ill. 1871)
Morhinners v. County Court
Opinion of the Court
This seems to have been an action on the
official bond of a constable against the constable and his sureties; but it does not appear from the bill of exceptions that the bond was offered in evidence; and, therefore, as appears from the record, the court below erred in not granting a new trial, on the ground that there was no evidence to support the finding.
For this reason the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.
