GATES, J.
Upon petition for rehearing. The former opinion appears in 46 S. D. 599, 195 N. W. 441. It urged by the *63state that we have definitely overruled State v. Casey, 44 S. D. 311, 183 N. W. 971, 15 A. L. R. 1521, because of the following sentence:
“The • situation at the time the sureties asked to he released from the bond must be viewed from the same standpoint as if Lawrence had not then [and there] been under arrest on the second charge, and as if the sureties had then and there brought Lawrence and surrendered him to the sheriff.”
It was not the intention to overrule State v. Casey. The quoted sentence was intended to refer only to the time at which the sureties made their demand and not to what might or might not he done later.
“The effect of the second arrest and the commitment to jail of the accused was to take from the [sureties] the right and power to exercise that supervision and control over his actions and movements that they were entitled by law to have and exercise.” Medlin v. Commonwealth, 11 Bush. (Ky). 605.
' While in State v. Casey, supra, the sheriff was the agent of the sureties, in the present 'Case the sheriff was not their agent, because the sureties were without authority over the prisoner.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
