Kelly v. James

Opinion of the Court

Kinsey, C. J.

The motion is not supported by the cases. All the books cited, merely recognize the general principle *7di-t in case the sheriff be legally incompetent to execute the process of the court it may be directed to the coroner. Un¿ess there be some special legal cause of objection pointed out and supported by full and clear evidence we should not conceive ourselves warranted to direct the execution to the coroners.

Rule Refused.
