with seduction under promise of marriage, and gave bail
for his future appearing before court in the penalty of
two hundred dollars, with Emily M. Yancey as his secu-
rity, but, failing to appear, judgment was entered there-
upon against the principal and surety in the sum of two
hundred dollars, and execution issued upon said judg-
ment and was levied upon two horses by J. J. Whitlock,
constable of said county, and ninety-five dollars was
realized by the sale of said horses and still remains in
the hands of said constable; and whereas the said M. C.
Yancey subsequent to the aforesaid judgment against him
and his surety appeared before said court and demanded
a trial of the charges for which he was bailed to appear;
and whereas the commonwealth’s attorney for the county
