Young v. Overton

Opinion of the Court

Deaderick, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The motion to dismiss the appeal, for want of bond, must be allowed. In cases of forcible entry and de-tainer, the defendant must give bond and security for the rent of the premises during the litigation, before he is entitled to an appeal.

No such bond having been given in this case, the appeal must be dismissed.

The plaintiff in error, may however give bond here within — days.
