Reed, &c., v. Ford. injury resulting to her. It seems to be well settled that no recovery can be had for injuries from mere fright, caused by the negligence of another, when no immediate personal injury is received.

Moreover, under the facts alleged, negligence can in no event be imputed to appellee in this case, or regarded as the proximate cause of appellant's injuries; for, not seeing appellant, being unseen by her, and not knowing of her presence in the adjacent room, it cannot be claimed that he could have foreseen or reasonably anticipated that any injury would probably result to her from his assault or abuse of McConnell. Being of the opinion that the petition fails to state a cause of action, the judgment sustaining the demurrer thereto is affirmed. Hargis, &c., v. Begley, Clerk, &c. CASE 50.-ACTION BY JAMES HARGIS AND OTHERS OTHERS TO ENJOIN THE COLLECTION OF A FOR- Hargis, &c., v. Begley, Clerk, &c. Appeal from Leslie Circuit Court. H. C. FAULKNER, Circuit Judge. Judgment for defendants, plaintiffs appeal - Reversed. 1. Bail-Forfeiture-Relief. It is a defense to recovery on a bail bond that the person under bond was prevented from attending court by reason of being accidentally shot, though he was at the time out of the State on a visit. 2. Judgment-Vacation After Term-"Casualty."-That one was accidentally shot, preventing his appearing at court, is ground for setting aside judgment on his forfeited bail, within Civil Code Prac., section 518, empowering the court rendering a judgment to vacate it, after the term, "for unavoidable casualty or misfortune, preventing the party from appearing or defending;" "casualty" being that which happens without design or without being forseen. CLEON K. CALVERT and J. J. C. BACH for appellants. IRA FIELDS and JAMES H. JEFFRIES for appellees. OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDGE NUNN-Reversing. Prior to October, 1906, one Doug Hays was indicted in the Leslie circuit court, charged with a felony, and his bail fixed at $500. Appellants, James Hargis, Ed Callahan, and S. B. Stidham, executed the usual bond for the appearance of Doug Hays at the October term Hargis, &c, v. Begley, Clerk, &c. He of the Leslie circuit court to answer the charge. failed to attend, and there was an order made forfeiting his bail bond, and another bench warrant issued, and his bail fixed at $1,000, and summons was awarded against his sureties, appellants. At the February term, 1907, of the court, appellants failed to answer, and a judgment was rendered against them for the amount of the bond. This action was instituted by appellants to enjoin the collection of this judgment. As reasons why appellants should not be compelled to pay this judgment they presented the following: That they and Doug Hays resided in Breathitt county, about 45 miles from Hyden, in Leslie county, the place where the judgment was rendered; that shortly after the bail bond was executed Doug Hays went to the state of Minnesota on a visit to his brother, who resided there; that while there Doug Hays and his brother went on a hunting trip, and Doug Hays accidentally shot and wounded himself, and it was impossible for him to appear at the Leslie circuit court in October in fulfillment of the bond; that after he became able to travel he returned to Breathitt county and executed another bail bond for the $1,000. It is made to appear that they failed to attend the Leslie circuit court, which began on the first Monday in February, 1907, for the reason that they did not know that there was a February term of that court; that they believed that the term began on the third Monday in March, 1907; that they relied upon the "Bradley & Gilbert Company" court calendar for the year 1907, which fixed the term for the Leslie circuit court on the third Mondays in March, June, and November; that they did not know of the change fixing the terms of the Leslie circuit court to begin in February, May, and October. They filed with their pleadings the court Hargis, &c, v. Begley, Clerk, &c. calendar of Bradley & Gilbert Company for the year 1907, and it substantiates their claim. The lower court concluded that, notwithstanding these alleged facts, which were not disputed, appellants had no cause of action. Appellee's counsel contends that appellants, the sureties of Doug Hays, acted at their peril when they permitted him to leave the State to visit his brother, and it was no defense to the action to recover the amount of the bond that Hays was accidentally shot and thereby prevented from appearing at the October term of the Leslie circuit court, and refers to the cases of Starr v. Commonwealth, 7 Dana, 243, Alguire v. Commonwealth, 3 B. Mon. 349, and Withrow v. Commonwealth, 1 Bush, 17, and other cases of similar import, as sustaining their position. These cases are unlike the case at bar. The case in 7 Dana, 243, was one where an infant was defendant in the indictment, and he failed to appear to answer it, and the sureties on the bail bond defended upon the ground that the infant's mother had taken him out of the State and kept him away until after the bond was forfeited. The court adjudged that this defense was insufficient. The case in 3 B. Mon. 349, was where the defendant had not appeared because he was imprisoned by the State authorities in the city of Louisville, Ky. This fact was pleaded as a defense to the forfeiture of the bail. bond, and was held insufficient, because it was defectively pleaded. The case in 1 Bush, 17, was one where one Catlin, who was charged with murder in Marion county, Ky., was arrested and gave bond, and then went to the State of Indiana, where he was arrested and imprisoned for the violation of the law in that state. While thus imprisoned in the state of Indiana, his bail bond was forfeited for his nonappear Hargis. &c. v. Begley, Clerk, &c. ance in the Marion circuit court, and the court held that his enforced absence in the state of Indiana at the time the forfeiture proceeding was had was not a defense to the forfeiture. In the last two cases referred to the defendant was prevented from attending court in compliance with the bail bond on account of wrongful acts committed by them. They were imprisoned for committing other crimes. When the sureties executed bond in the first case referred to they knew that the infant was in the charge of his mother, and when they permitted her to take him from the State they took the risk of her permitting him to return, or of his returning of his own will in spite of her objections. If it had been made to appear in those cases that the defendants had been prevented from appearing in answer to their recognizance, not on account of any wrongful act or dereliction on their part, but on account of unavoidable accident or sickness, over which they had no control, the results would have been different. See Commonwealth v. Terry, 2 Duv. 383; Bonner v. Commonwealth, 85 S. W. 1196, 27 Ky. Law Rep. 652. The second proposition presented by appellee's counsel is that the judgment was rendered in February, 1907, and this action was not instituted to set aside the judgment until the 31st day of May of that year, and that one court had passed between the date of the judgment and the institution of this action, and the court was without power to vacate or modify it, except upon the grounds set out in section 518 of the Civil Code of Practice, which it is claimed are not presented in this proceeding. This contention of appellee's counsel is correct, except the last proposition, to the effect that appellants present no grounds for vacating or modifying the judgment under section 518, |
