SUPREME CouRT DECISIONS.
Opinions ira Two Important Cases

Pierre. Oct. S.-Among the decisions
handed down by the supreme court
Yesterday were two which bear ON
points OF general interest TO the pub

decision was written by Judge liaHry.
the lower court is reversed. The utIe
of The case Is Lawrence county ~.
Meade county. The question in dlS-

South Dakota vs.. W. w. Taylor dnd
others, being against the Taylor
b~ondsmcn, the lower court is Sus-
tanned. In this case the legal bond de-
manded was S250,00O, bUt a voluntary
bond of S3j0.tG0 was given, and when
suit was brought by the state to re-
cover. the plea was to set mp that the
bondsmen were only liable for the
legal amount of thc bond. and not for
any excess above the legal require
ments which they might have given.
Judge Gatfy of the lower court, on
dered a judgment for The total amount
Of the defalcation, $3ii,211.4j, in which
he is sustained in an opinion written
by Judge Cors0n. In treating the
points at issue in this case, the court
equitable power of the court. Counsel
for appellants have failed to point out
TO the court any wen defined theory
consistent with the well established
principles Of law, upon which this
court would bc authorized to hold
that the appellants are only liable on
this bond for $2j0.O00, notwithstand-
ing their vs. voluntary agreement TO
make good the losses TO the state TO
the extent OF S350.000.
NO fraud, mistake or coercion being
shown by which they were induced to
enter into the agreement, this court
II presume that the parties intend-
ed to assume the liability which they
by this contract or bond, have IN fact
and law assumed.
oar conclusions, therefore. are that
the bond, though not in conformity
with the statute, was made in pursu.

OF the penalty namel therein; and that
the circuit court committee no error

ty of the bond, and hat the judgment
entered thereon should be affirmed"
