Carmack v. Drum
Opinion of the Court
— Respondent moves for leave to file a supplemental record in tbe above entitled cause, containing a copy of tbe supersedeas bond on appeal; tbat tbe judgment against the principal and sureties upon said bond for
This court has never entertained a motion to recall the remittitur for any other purpose than the correction of the judgment; that is, to make the judgment here conform to the decision actually rendered. But it is unnecessary at the present time to decide how far the jurisdiction of this court extends when the remittitur containing the actual decision has been filed in the superior court. Here it appears that the original judgment has been paid. The bond was not before the court, it is true, when the decision was rendered. It has been brought here, and therefrom it appears that it is conditioned to pay all rents or damages to the property, the subject of the^action, during the pendency of the appeal, and out of the possession of which respondent shall be kept by reason of the appeal, not exceeding the sum of $1,000. It is apparent on an examination of the statute (§ 6523, Bal. Code), that if the bond had been properly befoi*e the court, it could not have rendered any judgment against the sureties upon this stipulation. After providing for a judgment against the sureties when the judgment is for the payment of money, it is provided,
The motion is denied.

- APPEAL AEEIRMANCE SUPERSEDEAS • — ■ CONDITION EOR PAYMENT OE DAMAGES-JUDGMENT ON BOND. Under Bal. Code, § 6523, which provides for judgment against the sureties upon an appeal bond on the affirmance of a judgment for the payment of money, “and in any other case of affirmance the supreme court shall likewise render judgment against both the appellant and his sureties in the appeal bond for the amount recoverable according to the condition of the bond, in case such amount can be ascertained by the court without an issue and trial,” the supreme court could not award the damages sustained by respondent on account of the detention of his property pending an appeal, although a supersedeas bond has been given conditioned to pay all rents or damages to the property in controversy during the pendency of the appeal, and out of which respondent should be kept by reason of the appeal; but respondent's remedy would be by action on the bond in the proper forum.
