Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided July 15, 1845·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Oldiiam, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This was a summary proceeding upon a forfeited delivery bond. The judgment was rendered by default, and the court assessed the damages, without awarding a writ of inquiry. This case comes within the rule laid down in Patton & Stewart vs. Wolcott, 4 Ark. 579, and Jennings vs. Ashley & Beebe, 5 Ark. 128, and is in violation of it, and must therefore be reversed.
