      .—Judgment affirmed with double costs.
    
    G\ Wheaton, for plaintiffs in error;
    H. Hill, Jr., for defendant in error.
   This was a question of the liability of a sheriff for an escape from the jail limits; where it appeared that the prisoner was induced to go off the limits by means of deception and misrepresentation, (a false message sent to him by an officer having an execution against him on another judgment.) (Reported, 2 Denio, 646.)
