The defect alleged was, that the bond was made payable to the ‘State instead of to the appellee. The motion ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍was overruled. There was no en’or in this. Sec. 790, 2 R. S. 1876, p. 311; Acts 1875, Reg. Sess., p. 112; Railsback v. Greve, 58 Ind. 72; Fuller v. Wright, 59 Ind. 333.

*61The appellant moved for a trial by ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍jury. The motion was denied. There was no error in this. Knox v. Fesler, 17 Ind. 254; Allen v. Anderson, 57 Ind. 888; Reynolds v. The State, 61 Ind. 892.

The cause was tried by the court, who found for the appellee upon ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍the evidence, aud overruled a motion for a new trial, made upon the grounds that the decision of the court was not sustained by evidence, and was contrary to law.

The evidence ivas ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍conflicting, and we cannot say the decision upon it was erroneous.

The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
