Carroll v. Peck

Opinion of the Court

Caldwell, J.

—The only error relied on in this court is, that there was no sufficient service, in this, that the writ was “directed to the sheriff of Gonzales county,” and not to the “ sheriff or any constable of Gonzales county.”

The statute is in the alternative, and the writ may be directed to the. sheriff only, or, for sufficient cause, to the constable.

Judgment affirmed.
