1Opinion of the CourtWalker, J.
This is a proceeding on a forfeited bail bond, taken by the sheriff of Nueces county during the vacation of the District Court. The bond was not indorsed or filed at the proper time, as it should have been, but remained in the keeping of the sheriff until a judgment nisi had been entered against the principal and his sureties. The bond was afterwards produced by the district attorney pro tern., and evidence offered to identify it. The appellants never denied its execution. At the April term, 1869, the court ordered that it be filed nunc pro tunc, as of the October term, 1868.
