Summary

In State v. Hoeffner, 124 Mo. 488, Division Two of this court held that a proceeding by scire facias upon a forfeited recognizance in a criminal case is a mere continuation of an original proceeding to enforce the collection of a debt confessed, and is not a civil action for the recovery of money only within the meaning of our code of civil precedure.
