Sutphin v. Hardenbergh
Sutphin v. Hardenbergh
10 N.J.L. 288
Sutphin v. Hardenbergh
Opinion of the Court
The Court of Common Pleas did right in dismissing the appeal. The party appellee is entitled to have a bond perfect upon the face of it. If the presumption is, that the alteration was made before the execution, yet it is only a pregumption, and may be overcome by proof to the contrary. Whether the alteration was made before or after the execution, must be put to a jury to determine, and the bond may be found to be invalid. The appellee is not compelled to take a bond which may turn out to ba bad. He is entitled to a good bond.
Motion refused,
