Opinion

Opinion by

Judge Hines :

The demurrer to the petition in this case was properly sustained. If the bond is good for'any purpose, and we think it is not, it is good for only a common-law obligation, and can be proceeded upon only in a court having civil jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of the Hardin Criminal Court was exclusively criminal, and this being a civil proceeding there was no jurisdiction. Morgan v. Commonwealth, 12 Bush 84.

Affirmed.
