Texas Supreme Court July 1, 1874 (State v. Gordon)

Roberts, Chief Justice.

In this case, upon motion of the defendants, the court set aside the forfeiture nisi and quashed the bail bond upon which it was founded, which the State, upon appeal, assigns as error.

The bail bond required Thomas Gordon “to answer the State of Texas on a charge against him by affidavit of Daniel Scurlock,” setting forth the facts of a theft of money.
