Lambard v. Rogers
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Lambard v. Rogers, 31 Me. 350 (Me. 1850)
Orally, Wells
Lambard v. Rogers
Opinion of the Court
The law, (R. S. ch. 151, § 4,) allows dollarage for levying and collecting executions. If, in this case, the officer might legally tax the dollarage, the bond is a statute bond. Tf he could not so tax, still if, in doing it, he believed it was allowable, it may weh be considered a misapprehension, coming within the protection of R. S. ch. 148, § 43. Either way, then, the bond is valid as a statute bond, and the plaintiffs are entitled to judgment, according to the 39th section of said chapter 148.
