after this tlie matter came up for heat

Dunklin rendered a decision making

I of motion for a new trial in ope,,

CONST A JLE'S DUTIES.
Court o Civil Appeals Say* They Are
Co Extensive with County.
San Antonio, Texas, May 2fi. The
Court of Civil Appeals rendered .i
somewhat important opinion yesterday,
defining the duties of a constable.
Tn« case was one In which the right j
and authority of a constable to exe-
cute and return proceKs in ., ilvll .u
tlon was brought into question. It
was appealed from Guadalupe county.
In the lower court Adam Sefdemna.
sir'riff of Guadalupe county, had sued I
}' P. Me llin, constable, for fees col
lected in the execution of papers in
civil suits, and had also asked for,
an injunction restraining the con-
stable from executing such process in
the future. The lower court found in!
favor of sheriff, giving a judgment
luainst the constable for several hun
died dollars, which represented fe. -
collected by the constable for execu-
tion of papers. An Injunction «;i: a
allowed to lie as prayed for by the
sheriff.
Judge Fly of the Court of Civil \
peals, in handing down the optiun.
look an opposite view from that lie1 1
by the trial court. Tlv court said t'ha
i literal con.?truction of the s'atuti
would lead to absurdities in tlv en
ing of processes of courts ami sonn
times hamper and delay the opera ion-
of court in .*uch a way as t<> can-<
harm to legitimate cases and won i
perhaps defeat the ends of justice, r
is held that a constable's authority is!
coextensive with the county, and tin
the .unstable in this ca.- • was acting
within the scope of his plain duty inj
