S. Boughton, for relator., C. M. Lee, contra.

People v. Judges of Monroe Common Pleas

Opinion of the Court

By the Court,

Savage, C. J.

The bond is wholly defective. Allowing that the administrators had the right to appeal, the bond should have been conditioned to pay such judgment as might be rendered against them as administrators, and not to pay such judgment as should be rendered against their intestate, a dead man, an event that could not happen.

Motion granted.
