Head Matter:
The State, on the relation of Brown, v. Lewis.
In error.
Wednesday, May 27.

Opinion:
WHEN a justice of the peace binds a person in a recognisance to the Circuit Court to answer an accusation of bastardy, the original recognisance should be filed by the justice in the Circuit Court.
It is no objection to such a recognisance, that it is entered into by a third'person and not by the party himself.
