Decided January 15, 1853

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1853-01-15

Writ of Terror to ■Fulton Circuit Court. Writ of Error to Fulton Circuit Court, to bring up libe récord and proceedings, &c., “in a suit, &c., between the State of Arkansas, plaintiff, and Hiram Long, defendant, of a plea of in-dictmenti” No return is endorsed upon the writ, but a certified transcript is attached to it.

Decided 1853-01-15

Mr. Justice Scott

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court.

¶2It does not appear that the clerk of the Circuit Court of Fulton county, to whom the writ of error in this was directed, has made' any such return of it as he was commanded. The writ is here nevertheless, and there is a certified transcript of a record of the Fulton Circuit Court attached to it with wafers, which falls short of showing any final judgment against the recognizors in the above entitled case, against whom a forfeiture was taken, and process of scire facias sued out, but not determined. And besides, the writ of error is sued out in the name of Hiram Long alone, without any reference to the other two recognizors, in a case where, it seems the said Hiram was “defendant of a plea of indictment.”

¶3Let the writ of error be quashed at the cost of the plaintiff in error.
