Keppele v. Zantzinger

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The capias has been rightly issued; but undoubtedly the quantum of bail cannot depend on the plaintiff’s demand, but must rest in our discretion, which should be regulated by the amount of the probable balance. But here the defendant has been guilty of two defaults in not appearing before the auditors ; and therefore let him give bail in 1000 dollars, to appear before the auditors and account, &c.
