Cravey v. State

Opinion of the Court

Hurt, Judge.

Scire facias. The bond made the basis of the final judgment recites that the principal stands charged by indictment with the offense of “unlawfully selling mortgaged property.”

This recites no offense against the law, and hence the bail bond is invalid and will not support a judgment.

The judgment is reversed and the cause is dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed,.
