Skinner v. Frost
Skinner v. Frost
Opinion of the Court
There has been no breach of this recognizance. If the first notice was sufficient in form, as we think it was, the debtor’s departure from the place appointed for the examination did not constitute a breach, because he did not go without leave of the magistrate. He could not compel the magistrate to administer the oath, and if the magistrate adjudged the notice to be insufficient erroneously, and refused to act on that ground, it was no fault of the debtor. The form of the condition of the recognizance is not like that in the bond formerly given for the prison limits, under Rev. Sts. c. 97, ^ 63,
