49 Cal. 354
McDonald v. Fett
Opinion of the Court
By the act of signing an attachment bond, the surety does not become a participant in the seizure or detention of the attached property by the Sheriff, or liable as a trespasser for such acts. His liability arises under his contract merely, and is limited by its terms and conditions.
Judgment affirmed.
Mr. Justice Rhodes did not express an opinion.
