Texas Supreme Court · decided 1871-07-01

<p>Appeal from Guadalupe. Tried below before the Hon. J. J. Thornton.</p>

Decided 1871-07-01

Evans, P. J.

¶1This suit was brought by the former wards of Dial against him and his securities on his bond as guardian. .

¶2There was a verdict and judgment rendered for the defendants.

¶3The principal error relied upon by the appellants is the following charge of the court: “ That the plaintiffs having failed to

¶4read in evidence the bond of Dial, or a copy of the same, the jury cannot return a verdict against Dial’s securities.”

¶5We are of opinion there is no error in this charge. But independent of' the charge, which applied only to the securities on the-bond, the jury, with all the facts before them, rendered a verdict in favor of the principal, Dial.

¶6The judgment is therefore affirmed.

¶7Affirmed.
