Tex. & Pac. R’y Co. v. B. F. McCumsey.
    (No. 3730.)

    Appeal from Eastland County.

    T. H. Conner, counsel for appellant.
    R. B. Truly, counsel for appellee.
   Opinion by

Will-son, J.

§ 264. Appeal bond from justice's court held sufficient. Appellant appealed from a judgment rendered against it in justice’s court. The appeal bond to the county court described the judgment as one rendered against “ The Texas Pacific Railway Company ” and was signed “ Texas Pacific R’y Co.” In the county court the appeal was dismissed upon motion of appellee upon the grounds that the judgment appealed from was rendered against “ The Texas and Pacific Railway Company ” and that the appeal bond was not signed by said company. Held error. The objections made to the appeal bond are not substantial; It is manifest from the entire record that the omission of the word “and” in the corporate name of appellant was a mere clerical omission, which could not mislead, and which does not affect the validity of the bond. [2 W. Con. Rep., §§ 26, 429, 619, 669.]

Reversed and remanded.
