- Syllabus
- On a suit by the government against the sureties of a postmaster on his official bond, it is no defence that the government, “through their agent, the Auditor of the Treasury of the Post Office Department, had full notice of the defalcation and embezzlement of funds of the plaintiff before them, and yet neglectfully permitted the said postmaster to remain in office, whereby he was enabled to commit all the default and embezzlement,” &c.
