Opinion of Jndge Clark, of Court ol
Appeals, Refusing to Take
Jurisdiction.
Full Text of the Decision.
IReported for the News by B. I. Willcoxon.1
Ex parte Lycurgus Erwin. Appeal .from Brazos
county. The right of appeal in cases of habeas
corpus, in this state, is dependent upon and regu-
lated solely by statute} and it is clearly contem-
plated by the law, which has received the sanction
of repeated adjudication from this and other courts
exercising supreme appellate power in such cases,
that the orders of this court shall act directly upon
the officer or other person having the custody of
the applicant, and not be transmitted through the
medium of inferior tribunals, as in other cases of
appeal. Our code of criminal procedure, among
other provisions regulating such appeals, provides
that the judgment which may be rendered by this
court shall be certified by the clerk to the officer
holding the defendant in custody, or where he is
held by any person other than an officer, to the
sheriff of the proper county. [C. C. P., art. 889.]
It further provides that if an officer holding a per -
son in custody fails to obey the mandate of this
court, he shall be deemed guilty of an offense;
and if the applicant be detained by some person
other than an officer, the sheriff, upon receipt of
the mandate, shall cause his discharge. [C. C. P.,
arts. 887, 888.] If the applicant is ordered to give
bail, the judgment of this court is certified to the
officer holding him in custody for his observance.
[C. C. P., art. 890 ] From these provisions it ap-
pears unquestionable that the law contemplates
when this court is called upon to pronounce its
judgment on an appeal in a habeas corpus proceed-
ing, that the appellant must be in the custody of
some officer or other person subject to its jurisdic-
tion, and upon whom the process of the court can
operate with directness. It was never contemplated
that this court would act upon such an appeal,
when it had no authority to enforce its judgment,
nor when the illegal restraint complained of had
altogether ceased, nor is this court authorized to
remand a case to an inferior judge with directions
how to proceed in the enforcement of an original
order made by him in chambers, and which may be
left by the action of this court in full force and
operation. If. pending an appeal, the restraint is
removed, and the applicant has regained his
liberty, no matter by what method, the pro-
ceedings here must terminate, and this court
will not inquire into the legality of a detention
which no longer exists. Such is the uniform prac-
tice. \ Ex parte Peyton, 2 Ct. App. 296. Ex parte
ohn & Hawes. Ib., 380. Dirks vs State. 33 Tex.
22:.] It is true that in ex parte Coupland (2t> Tex.
3»7) the supreme court retained jurisdiction of a
similar appeal, notwithstanding it was made to ap-
pear that the applicant was possibly not in custody.
But it is to be remarked that the showing to that
effect was of a vague and indefinite character, and
the court treated the question of dismissals of ap-
peals. after the escape of the appellant, as one of
practice, simply, which rested in the sound discre-
tion of t he court. A different rule obtains now and
must be regarded as jurisdictional. [C. C. P. art.
b'4"> 1 Besides, the questions involved in that appeal
were of a grave national character, affecting the
great struggle in which we were then engaged, and
demanding prompt adjudication by the authorities,
as i measure of public defense. It was the first
case in which these questions had been brought to
tlie attention of the court, and it could well say, as
ii did. that the public interest would be better sub-
served by hearing the appeal than by
its continuance. No exigency of a similar
character surrounds this case, and in the
selection of a proper precedent, we prefer to
follow the later decisions of this court,
based as they are upon the clear import of the stat-

utes. The applicant in this case applied to the Hon.
Spencer Ford, judge of the ninth judicial district of
this state, on the 9th day of July, 1879, for a writ of
habeas r • is, directed to Dennis Corwin, sheriff of
Travis . . it being alleged that he was illegally
restmii his liberty by said Corwin by virtue of
a waiv.U. ;: «tm the governor of this state, based
upon a requisition of the governor of Illinois. The
writ was made returnable before the district judge
at Bryan on the 17th day of July, 1879; and after
further postponement the matter was heard and
determined on July 28, and the applicant was re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff of Travis
county, to be delivered by him to the agent of the
state of Illinois, to be transported to that state for
trial. To this order the aoplicant excepted and
gave notice of appeal to this court, and thereupon,
by a continuation of the same entry, the judge fur
ther ordered that the applicant be not remanded
to the custody of the sheriff of Travis county, but
to the custody of the sheriff of Brazos county,
there to remain until this court should render its
judgment on appeal. And it was further ordered,
in the same judgment entry, that the relator be ad-
mitted to bail, upon sufficient sureties, in the sum
of $1000, conditioned as the law directs. A bond in
that sum was executed on August 1, 1S79, by appel-
lant with thirteen sureties, conditioned for the ap-
pearance of appellant before this court, at the city
of Austin, on the 8th day of April, 1880, there to
abide such judgment as might be rendered. Whe-
ther an appeal is permissible in this character of
cases, it is not necessary now to discuss, but we
know of no provision of'law which authorizes an
applicant to prosecute appeal in the mode here at-
tempted. Certainly, if an appeal by a party ar-
rested on a warrant of extradition is within the
purview of the statute, the law makes no such ex-
ception in his favor, as to authorize him to go at
large pending the action of this court, and in a situ-
ation to defy its mandate and to treat its judgment
with contempt. The analogies of the law can not
be appealed to in aid of the action of the judge be-
low, for no such analogies exist. The charge
against the applicant appears from the
record to be a felony and not a mis-
demeanor, and if a resort to analogy
was permissible, and the iudge was authorized to
consider his order remanding the applicant as in
the nature of a conviction, to follow a just analogy,
he should have been committed pending his appeal.
Nor can that provision in our Bill of Rights, which
provides that " all prisoners shall be bailable by
sufficient sureties." be invoked to seccessfully sus-
tain the action, because, as said by our supreme
court, by the terms "all prisoners,1' it wa3 not
meant to require all prisoners under all circum-
stances to be oailed, but it must refer to a class of
prisoners, each and all of whom shall be bailed ex-
cept as therein provided. [Ex parte Ezell. 4 Tex.,
451.] This provision in our organic law must be
construed with and be controlled by that provision
in the constitution of the United StateS, which is
tne supreme law of the land, and which provides
that. " a person charged in any state with treason,
felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice
and be found in another state, shall, on demand of
the executive authority of the state from which he
fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state
having jurisdiction of the crime." [Cons. U. S.
art. 4. sec. 2, § 2.] If upon arrest under a
warrant of extradition, bail is allowable,
the federal constitution is set at naught, and de-
livery in the state having jurisdiction of the of-
fense would have its price regulated generally by
the amount of the bail-bond, where one could be
given at all, and a fundamental provision which
was intended to apply to all classes of citizens,
would be restricetd to the poor and unfortunate,
who were not able to furnish bail. Such can not be
the proper construction of the two constitutions.
A new provision in our code of criminal procedure
authorizes a prisoner to be bailed from day to day
pending a hearing on habeas corpus, in the discre-
tion of the judge presiding at such hearing, but
after a disposal of the case by him, this discretion
no longer exists. IC. C. P. art. 1G2.] This appeal
is properly returnable to our Austin term, but in
the view we entertain of its nullity, it could sub-
serve no useful purpose to continue it over for that
length of time. The laws of the United States and
of this state have already been delayed sufficiently
in their execution by the applicant, who
has failed to properly submit himself to
their operation, but who seeks a judgment
standing sufficiently afar to evade its opera-
tion if it be adverse, and sufficiently near to,
avail himself of its protection, if it be favorable.
Standing outside the jurisdiction of this court, he
can not invoke its protection, nor can this court in-
dulge any presumption in <tid of one who is called
upon to face his accusers under all the forms and
sanctions of the law in a speedy public trial before
an impartial jury, but who seeks assiduously to
evade the issue and to avoid that jurisdiction which
is alone competent to pronounce upon his guilt or
innocence. It is ordered by the court that this ap-
peal be dismissed for want of jurisdiction, and it
is furthe rordered that the clerk of this court trans-
mit, without delay, to Dennis Corwin, ^aeriff of
Travis county, a certified copy of the judgment of
dismissal, for the information and guidance of that
officer. Clark, J.

COUNTY TREASURER'S BOND.
Mr. Kleberg stated that, under the law, it was
necessary for the court to fix the amount of bond
of county treasurer.
Judge Jones thought $30,000 sufficient, but
thought $25,000 enough.
Mr. Kleberg stated that he had suggested to the
new treasurer to make up a bond of $40,000; and
he had also a school bond fixed at $30,000. These
amounts were regarded as amply sufficient. The
following gentlemen signed the general bond,
which was accepted by the court: H. Rosenberg,

Thos. Kerrigan, John Gaff and John Hogan were
arraigned as vagrants. Two of the parties belong

William Stanfield and Frank Haynes were arrest-
ed for disorderly conduct by officer Mealy. It
appeared that the parties met on Williams's wharf,
and came near colliding. After calling each other,
in cursed words, all the pet names within their fer-
tile imagination, Haynes went for Stanfield with a
dray pin, and the latter passed his right hand to his
hip pocket. At this terrible juncture the officer
seized both darkies, and summarily ended what
might have become a serious quarrel.

in which it has been administered with

at the present date, and yet the prepara-
tion is only in the infancy of its useful-
ness. The great defect of all Cough
Remedies hitherto introduced is that
they are simply expulsory. Hence they
are useless; for unless the causes of the
acrid secretions wliich are coughed up
are removed,and the ruptured, inflamed
or maturated surfaces healed and re-
stored to their natural tone, a cure is
impossible. Fritsch's Prussian Cough
Syrup accomplishes these objects. Tho
mucus and muco-pus which are the con-
sequence of Lung Disease, are thrown off
by it, while at the same time it soothes
and invigorates the weakened tissues.

Palestine New Era: The East Texas confer-
ence of the M. E. church south convened at
this place on Wednesday A delightful
shower gladdened the earth Tuesday night
In consequence of the session of che'East Texas
conference, now convened in this city, the Uni-
ted Friends of Temperance will not meet until
Friday, December 12,
ARANSAS.
Rockport Transcript: The question of win-
tering the loose cattle upon this point has
ceased to be a subject of speculation and has
resolved itself into but two alternatives—star-
vation or removal. With no water except that
supplied by wells, and with the prairie imme-
diately adjacent to town entirely destitute of
grass," without some great and unexpected
change they can not subsist here during the
approaching winter, particularly if it is at all
severe or protracted.
BROWN.
The range and water supply is pretty good
in consequence of the late rains. Stockmen
from ocher less favored portions of Texas are
moving in to avail themselves of these ad-
vantages.

Caldwell Eagle, Dec. 6: About fifty freedmen
left the county one day last week, on horse-
back and in covered wagons, for Kansas. They
were mostly from the bottom... .On Thursday
night, after a most blustering day. we bad a
fine rain, which was badly needed, as water
was becoming distressingly scarce in some lo-
calities ; and many of our farmers have been
waiting for weeks for rain sufficient to enable
them to sow wheat and oats.

Journal: Atlanta and Queen City, in the
eastern part of the county, situated three miles
apart on the Texas and Pacific railroad, sur-
rounded by a beautiful farming country, are
thrifty business places, each place handling
now about one hundred bales of cotton per day.
They are very pleasantly located, healthy, and
have plenty of good water. They also have
good churches and schools. Atlanta is just
completing one of the most commodious and
comfortable school buildings in this section of
the state.
DE WITT.
Cuero Bulletin: A walk through the freight
depot of the Morgan railway will show freight
arriving from Indianola to Cuero to be dis-
tributed at points on or near the Peirce rail-
road and all the surrounding counties, such as
Gonzales, Lavaca, Wilson, Karnes, Bee and
others, and which is freighted in wagons to
their several points of destination Cotton
and produce from all the above counties are
taken down to Indianola to be shipped to home
and foreign ports through Galveston, New Or-
leans and New York Cotton is coming in
free'y. Every train that leaves the depot for
Indianola take a large number of bales for
shipment Mr. T. E. Crawford, who resides
near Hochheim, in this county, informs us that
the farmers in his vicinity commenced plowing
last week, the rains having been sufficient to
put the ground in good order.
erath.
Stephensville Empire: From 200 to 300 bales
of cotton are marketed here every week, and
hides, wool and other country produce in pro-
portion, to say nothing of the transient trade
from the hundreds of wagons daily passing
along the main thoroughfare from Fort Worth
to the great west. Our merchants and clerks
are kept busy from morning till night.
FREESTONE.
Cotton Gin Herald, December 6: Many of
the farmers in this county have purchased
Kansas corn, with which to feed their stock,
etc.
GRIMES.
Navasota Tablet, December 5: After a dis-
tressing drouth of seven and a half months this
section was visited with a fine rain last night.
The top crop of cotton has added largely
to the crop in this county; altogether the yield
is much greater than was anticipated two
months ago. A farmer of Roan's prairie two
weeks ago went over his sixty-acre cotton
field three weeks after he had finished it, and
by close picking netted seven more bales,
which, added to the twenty-one already mar-
keted, makes a pretty fair crop for such a j ear.
Land in Grimes county which last year
commanded five dollars an acre rent can this
year be had for two.
GONZALES.
Inquirer: About Leesville farmers are call-
ing for help to gather their cotton. The fields
are still white As week after week passes
and rain comes not, the situation is getting to
be serious. W ater courses, tanks and cisterns
are fast going dry, and our citizens are in the
straits to secure water for their stock and for
drinking purposes. The grass, except where
fenced and protected, is parched and dried up,
and cattle will experience a very severe win-
ter. The ground is so hard and dry farmers
are prevented from sowing small grain We
frequently hear it said that all the cattle out-
side of pastures must die this winter unless fed
and cared for.
HOPKTNS.
Hopkins county has an organization of citi-
zens under the style of the 44 Friends of Law
and Order." designed for mutual protection
against the Texas 44 horse-raisers."
HOUSTON.
Crockett Patron: Nearly 7000 bales have
been forwarded to market from our depot.
There seems yet to be no diminution of arri-
vals. We believe, however, that much the
larger portion of the crop has been marketed.

Accused of Defrauding His Partner.
New Orleans. Dec. 10.—The books, papers
and property of the firm of Page 8s Co., of this
city, has been seized at the suit of Theodore L.
Page, senior partner. Seven years ago Mr.
Page returned to Maine, intrusting the busi-
ness solely to Geo. H. Fletcher, formerly of
Lawrence, Mass., who has, Mr. Page claims,
defrauded him to a large amount. The prop-
erty absorbed by Fletcher is so invested that
Page will probably recover most of the money.
