1Opinion of the CourtJustice Windes
This was an action before a justice of the peace against a constable for taking an insufficient replevin bond. The defendant pleaded the statute of limitations before the justice, which plea was sustained, and plaintiff appealed to the Circuit Court, where a trial before the court, without a jury, resulted in a judgment against defendant for $131.60, from which this appeal is prosecuted.
In the view we take of the questions presented, it only seems necessaiy to consider that presented by the defense of the statute of limitations.
