The case of Halligan vs. Johnson has been decided by the appellate court, in favor of Johnson. This was an action started in the Jasper circuit court about two years ago by Johnson for damages on account of a sorrel horse taken on an execution by the sheriff of Pulaski county on a judgment in favor of Halligan. Johnson claimed that the horse taken from him was not the horse covered by the Halligan mortgage and Johnson was given judgment of S9O, from which judgment Halligan appealed.
