Texas Supreme Court July 1, 1871 (Castles v. Burney)

Walker, J.

The appellant obtained a judgment at the Fall term of the district court, for the year 1866, against the appellee Burney and others. One of the defendants, J. B. Earle, was a relative of the presiding judge, who recused himself on that account. And it appears that a special judge acted in the ease, but was not chosen in the manner provided by law.
