Texas Supreme Court · decided 1873-07-01

<p>Appeal from Bastrop. Tried below before the Hon. I. B. McFarland.</p> <p>There is no occasion for a statement of the facts.</p>

Decided 1873-07-01

Ogden, J.

¶1The first objection to the bail bond is not well taken. The law does not require as great particularity in a bond taken by a committing magistrate, as it does in a bond taken before the District Court after indictment found. But under the authority of The State v. Russell, 24 Texas, 505, we must *134decide that the magistrate, before whom the party had been committed, had no authority after the- adjournment of his court, to take and approve a bail bond. The judgment is therefore reversed, and the cause dismissed.

¶2Reversed and dismissed.
