Shackelford absconded without giving bail, and the plaintiff was fixed by Gill ag Spec|a\u00a1 bail, and brought this suit upon the implied promise of the defendant faithfully to perform his duty as deputy sheriff, and indemnify him against the consequences of Ms acts or omissions.\nHis Honor Judge Dantee charged the jury, that as the plaintiff gave Shackelford permission to look for hail, and bring the bail when procured to the defendant to he bound, the deputy was not liable in this action, unless he had orders to re-take Shackelford, in case bail was not given, before the return day of the writ.\n\u00c1 verdict was returned for the defendant, and the plaintiff appealed.\nThe case was submitted without argument, by Badger for the plaintiff, and Gaston, for the defendant."
