State v. Doax

Opinion of the Court

Hyman, C. J.

The State is appellant from a judgment dismissing suit brought against defendants, on an appearance bond signed only by Gay, as security for Doax and Thompson. ,

Doax and Thompson, not having signed the bond, are not bound. Neither is Gay bound on the bond, for there cannot be an accessory obligation where there is not a principal one. See 2 Rob. 367, Curtis et al v. Moss.

Let the jiidgment of the District Court be affirmed.
