Indiana Supreme Court · Decided November 15, 1882 · Woods
87 Ind. 602

McIlvain v. State ex rel. Emery

Opinion of the Court

Woods, C. J.

The appellant disputes the constitutionality of so much of the law concerning prosecutions in cases of bastardy as requires the imprisonment of the defendant upon his failure to pay or replevy the judgment rendered against him. We do not consider the question an open one. Lower v. Wallick, 25 Ind. 68; Ex parte Teague, 41 Ind. 278 ; Reynolds v. Lamount, 45 Ind. 308; Turner v. Wilson, 49 Ind. 581.

Judgment affirmed.
