REMARKS ON A CA. SA. BOND.

1. The bond ought to be witnessed by some disinterested person, and not by the Constable, as is usually practiced. The obligors in a bond of this kind, are not permitted to deny the bond, that is to plead the general issue against it, without first making oath that such plea is true. Hence it is seldom necessary to prove the bond at all, and even if there is no subscribing witness, proof of the handwriting of the obligors will be suffi cient.

2. In filling up a ca. sa. bond, always be particular to name the parties precisely as stated in the warrant and judgment; for a small variance in this particular will be fatal.

3. If a Constable or other officer should take an insufficient bond, and the defendant should thereby escape from under the process, such officer would, in most cases, be liable to the plain▾ tiff for his debt.

4. The officer ought to hold the papers in his own hands till the return Court; because in the absence of the papers, he is not prepared to receive a surrender of the principal, which the bail has a right to make at any time in discharge of himself.

5. Where there are two or more defendants, and one of them is arrested under a ca, sa., and afterwards discharged, it operates as a discharge of all the defendants; and where the discharge was the voluntary act of the officer, he is liable to the plaintiff; but where it was the act of the plaintiff, the debt is totally ex tinguished.
