Pearce, who was clerk of the district court of Nuckolls county during a portion of the year 1890. The action was grounded on the alleged misconduct of Pearce in approving an undertaking given to stay the execution of said judgment. A trial of the cause resulted in a decision in favor of the defendants. The plaintiff brings the record here for review.
