Pettis v. Dixon, 1 Kirby 179 (Colo. Ct. App. 1786).

Opinion

By the Court.

This is an action of debt, although the public is entitled to part of the recovery: It is treated wholly as a civil action, and came up here by appeal, which it could not, had it been a criminal prosecution; therefore, the jury may be returned to a second consideration.
