Wisconsin Supreme Court June 15, 1871 (Laver v. McGlachlin)

Cole, J.

The sole question in tbis case is, whether the writ of replevin issued by Charles H. Woodard afforded protection to the defendant, a deputy sheriff who executed it. It is claimed by the plaintiff that it did not, because it is said that Woodard was not a justice, either de jure or de facto.
