July 1857 · Arkansas Supreme Court
19 Ark. 265

Rector vs. Harris, Norton & Co.

A writ of error will not lie to the original judgment, where an execution has been issued on it, a delivery bond given and forfeited, and so returned by the sheriff (14 Ark. 595, 597.)

Error to the Circuit Court of Pulaski County.

Garland, for the plaintiff.

Watkins & Gallagher, for the defendants.

*266Mr. Justice Scott

delivered the opinion of the Court. •

To the writ of error in this case, the defendants in error interposed a plea, setting up that a writ of execution was issued upon the judgment herein, which was levied upon property and a forthcoming bond given and forfeited, and so returned by the sheriff. To which plea there was a demurrer and joinder. As heretofore several times held in this Court, under such circumstances, a writ of error does not lie to the original judgment. (Phillips et al. vs. Wills, Pease & Co., 14 Ark. R. 595; Daugherty vs.. McDonald, ib. 597, and other cases since decided.

The demurrer will therefore be, overruled, and the writ of error quashed at the costs of the plaintiff in error. .

Absent, Mr. Justice Hanly.
