Bailey v. Warden

Bailey v. Warden
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1822
20 Johns. 129
Bailey v. Warden

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We have decided that an attorney is not good bail, if excepted to; and, for the same reason, we think a Sheriff ought not to become bail; and such is the rule of the English Courts, which do not allow any person concerned in the process of the Court to become bail. We, therefore, grant the motion, (a)

Motion granted.

Vide 1 Dunl. Pr. 171. Str. 890. Doug. 466. 2 Bos. & Pull. 150. 15 Johns. Rep. 535.
