Michal Shipwash charged with assault & battery against Thomas Childress. Shipwash, William Davis and James R. Davis as sureties were indebted to state for $250 each to be void on condition that defendant should appear in court. Because Shipwash did not appear in court to answer charge, they have to pay the $250 each. Defendants demur and the Attorney General sustains it. Each defendant was tried separately. |
