Cravens, supervisor of road district number five, in Fall Creek township, commenced a number of actions in the name of Thomas, as trustee of said township, before a justice of the peace, against a railroad company, for obstructing a highway. Judgments were recovered against the company, from which appeals were taken to the Circuit Court, and the cases were subsequently dismissed by said Cravens’ successor in office, during a vacation of the court. The appellant in this action was sheriff of the county during the pendency of the cases in the Circuit Court, and brought this suit to recover his costs, as such sheriff, in serving process. A demurrer was sustained to the complaint. This
The judgment is reversed, with costs, and the cause remanded, with directions to overrule the demurrer to the complaint.
