Even on this ground, there are different adjudications ;* and our act of assembly, (passed 21st March, 1772, § 11. 1 Dall. St. Laws, 616,) pursues the precise words of the British statute, (11 Geo. 2, c. 19, § 23. 6 Ruff. Stat. 301,) except that the assignment of the bond must be on stamped paper, before the suit was brought thereon in England. The same practice obtained before the passing of the statute, Garth. 519. Espin. 348. 5 Com. Dig. 404. But why should the plaintiff recover the mere value of the goods only ? Suppose a family picture, or piece of plate, or, (as this case turned out in evidence on the trial,) the produce of a farm for one whole year, unlawfully taken and detained by a wrong-doer, shall the more value of the property be the sole measure of damages ? Clearly not. And this being a defendant’s bond, given on his claim of property to the sheriff, it is now settled, that the bail are liable to the full amount of the penalty of their bail bond.†
