Marshall v. State

This was an action of debt by the state against William Marshall and others. The suit is founded on a penal bond dated September the 6th, 1836, and payable to the state, conditioned that Marshall should faithfully discharge his duties as commissioner of the three per cent, fund of Perry county, appropriated at the twentieth session of the general assembly to that county, by applying the same according to law, and that he should perform all the duties of commissioner as aforesaid. Demurrer to the declaration; demurrer overruled, &c.; and judgment for the state.
