Feb ruary ^th, 1017, arid t hut upon shock ing ui> his booW* after his death be wun found to short in the sum o^ (H). Suit was brought against hi* bondrt mou upon his -last official bond given who'll, ht'., himself ?<i|> ?H tij> bo fore bis jtloath. and upon tbo prvnutup U'oU of law that when au officer suc i-oods hinpadf ho pfeauuied to have on lAiud. uil tuuaojM that ho should havo, and that the last bond would be liublo, the court directed ^a .verdict against tho bondstuon for tho mnouut of the short age. .. . ? Tito bondsmen appealed upon tho grouud that there wj?n evidence loading to show that the llefnlcatiou occurred before Ida last term. It seems tbat the executions U|>on which the shortage oc curred were turned over to Ihe sheriff during 101f> and the Spring of 1010. Suction 47(1. Volume 1, Code of 101' provides that the sheriff shall rnahe ro turn of all tax execution 8 to the treas urer of their res|>eetive counties, within IX) days after the date of the issue there of, ami within tho same time to pay over to the Treasurer all money collected l?y thom on tho cxecUtTolis. and it >WM made tho dutx. of tho county treasurers to muko a complete list of ull tax exe cutions that had been turned over to tho^eriff for joollOaetbjb, and vbiclr-had not ho, -n collected, which list ..he slunllcT tum ovor to the grand jury, who should 'examine the lifrt and present tho sheriff for any default. It waN further inad^ tho djity of tho county treasurer to bring suit against tho sheriff, if* he should make default in paying over within the tH) days the moneys collected on the execu tions, In which suit the sheriff should * V . I be liable, and in ease or the failure on the part of the treasurer to do the things required of him by this statute he tft.ra- ! self should bo liable. Tfoe tooa surer testified ut the trial that Sheriff I luokabeo, had made no return or report on the execution* for cither o( the years 1PU or 1015. It wjis the con tention of the bondsreonV attorney that this was evidence tbat the sheriff' did not have the money 'on hand when bo succeeded himself. aud tho Supreme Court sustained thiK contention, setting aside the judgment and remanding ,the ease for a new trifal wjtn instructions that the previous bonds bo brought be-j fore the court v The state was represented in the Su preme court by Claude N. Sapp, assist ant attorney general, while the bonds* men wore represented by M. M. John son of the local bar. It is presumed tbat at some future court the entire list of bondsmen, in cluding the surety company, will be sued yfor the Shortage, and Kershaw county taxpayera^may yet escape the loss caused i them by Incompetent officers.
