Supreme Court of Louisiana, 1857

State v. Cravey

State v. Cravey
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 15, 1857 · Buchanan
12 La. Ann. 224

State v. Cravey

Opinion of the Court

Buchanan, J.

The record shows no order of court admitting to bail J. H. H Grcmey, charged with murder, nor fixing the amount of his bond.

Without such order the bond taken by the Deputy Sheriff is not binding on the sureties, who are appellants herein. State v. Longineau, 6 An. 700; State v. Clendenin, 6 An. 745.

It is, therefore, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the District Court be reversed; and judgment is hereby rendered in favor of the appellants, as in case of non-suit.
