Jones v. Smith
Jones v. Smith
2 Pen. & W. 462
Jones v. Smith
Opinion of the Court
—There was no pretext for the demurrer. A bail-bond is to be sued in the court where the original action is depending, for the sake of preserving the equitable control over the proceeding that is peculiar’to the forum. But there is no such control of the proceeding in an action'on an insolvent’s bond, which is therefore within the spirit as well as the letter of the act of assembly, giving justices of the peace jurisdiction.
Judgment affirmed.
