1. ““The proceedings in New Hampshire and Massachusetts (and formerly in Maine) in debt on bond with a penalty, are according to the course of the common law, by which the plaintiff can assign only a single breach. . . . “When it appears to the court that the penalty of the bond is forfeited, judgment is to be entered (by statute provisions) for such sum as is equitably due to the plaintiff at the time of rendering the judgment. And if the condition of the bond be such that future damages may arise for future breaches, judgment is to be rendered for the penalty, and execution awarded for the damages already accrued, and the judgment stands as security for future damages, to be recovered by scire facias”
