Meyer v. Scannell

California District Court

Decided April 15, 1857

California District Court · decided 1857-04-15

<p>Surety on Bond.</p> <p>A party in interest, if not a party of record, may be a surety.</p>

Decided 1857-04-15

¶1This was a motion to show cause why one Tobias Shaw, a surety on a replevin bond, should not be held incompetent on the ground that he was the person in interest against whom the suit was brought.

¶2It appeared on the examination before the Clerk, that Shaw had attached the goods of one Morris & Danzieger, and by notice of that attachment the Sheriff had taken possession of goods claimed by this plaintiff.

¶3This suit was brought in replevin to recover the possession of the goods taken under that attachment.

¶4Shaw became a surety on bond under Sec. 104 of the Civil Practice Act, and the motion was made on the ground of his incompetency.

¶5Judge Hager held that inasmuch as he was not a party to the record, his interest would not prevent him from being a surety in this case.
