Loyd, Perryman & Mills v. McTeer

Opinion of the Court

By the Court

Lyon, J., delivering the opinion.

The object of a bail bond is to compel the appearance of the principal, and if it imposes other and more onerous conditions it is void: Tidd. Pr., 224; Thorner vs. Whetstone, Dyer. R., 119; Rogers vs. Reeves, 1 T. R., 418; Nicker vs. Davis et. al., 15 Ga. R., 573. This bond requires the principal'not only to appear, but to stand to, abide and perform the final judgment of the Court in said case.” ■ This is a condition more onerous than is required by law, and it is therefore void.

Let the judgment be affirmed.
