Moore v. State

37 Tex. 133

Opinion

Ogden, J.

The first objection to the bail bond is not well taken. The law does not require as great particularity in a bond taken by a committing magistrate, as it does in a bond taken before the District Court after indictment found. But under the authority of The State v. Russell, 24 Texas, 505, we must decide that the magistrate, before whom the party had been committed, had no authority after the- adjournment of his court, to take and approve a bail bond. The judgment is therefore reversed, and the cause dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
