Syllabus

<p>1. Misapplication of Public Monet.—Indictment conforming substantially to No. 25 of Willson’s Criminal Forms is sufficient to charge against a county officer the offense of misapplying the public money, as that offense is defined by Article 103 of the Penal Code.</p> <p>2. Same—Case Distinguished.—A Justice of the Peace is a county officer within the purview of Article 103 of the Penal Code. See the opinion for the distinction between this and the case of Edwards v. The State, 2 Texas Court of Appeals, 525.</p> <p>3. Practice—Charge of the Court.—See the opinion for the substance of a charge of the court held, erroneous. But in view of the evidence in the case, and the failure of the appellant to except to the charge at the proper time, the error is immaterial.</p>
