W. J. v. State

3 S.W. 479, 22 Tex. Ct. App. 692, 1887 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 22

Opinion

Willson, Judge.

This appeal is from a judgment final upon a forfeited bail bond. The bail bond was executed under a pretended indictment- which had been presented by a body of fourteen persons assuming to act as a grand jury. Such, pretended indictment was a nullity, and all process and proceedings thereunder were void. (Lott v. The State, 18 Texas Ct. App., 627; McNeese v. The State, 19 Texas Ct. App, 48; Swain and Turner v. The State, Id., 323; Williams v. The State, Id., 265.)

The judgment is reversed and the proceeding upon the bail bond is dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
