Slut-habt-o Itoud Cake Stiil to Cir?
cult Court For Nevv Trial.
A docudOu was handed doWu this
u .\>k !?. tb'< Supivmo court reversing the
('it on it (\>urt <tu the lluokabee bond
case. ? It wtlt bo rttnemberfd thai Sher
iff Hiifklboti died ou April INih. 1017,
al'tvf having succeeded hinmlf <>!? 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.
