It seems that this case involving originally the sum of ninety five dollars, ($95.00) has been pending-'before the courts in this State since the year 1876. It was first tried in the Justice’s court of Anderson county in July 1876. It was then carried at once, being prosecuted with vigor, to the county court of that county, and theré tried at the September Term 1877.

Decided 1884-10-15

¶1In this case there appears to have been a want of diligence as well as culpable negligence on the part of the plaintiff in error. Time will not permit a further examination of the matter. The following cases are pertinent to the matter in hand. Nevins v. McKee, 61 Texas 412; Contraras v. Haynes, 61 Texas, 104; Johnson v. Templeton, (nnreported); Schleicher v. Markward, 61 Texas 102; Montgomery v. Carlton, 56 Texas 431; Plummer v. Power, 29 Texas 14; Snow v. Harpe, 22 Texas 168; Burnley v. Rice, 21 Texas 183. Many other cases from our own courts to the same effect could be cited.

¶2The judgment is affirmed.

West, J.
