Opinion

Per Curiam,

The judgment in this case is affirmed on the opinion of the learned court below. The constable could not be expected to know how the cow escaped. He found her straying in the streets and it was his duty to impound her. As a matter of course he was an officer acting under the authority of the state.

Judgment affirmed.
