1 Wright 449

Burr v. Moody

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided September 15, 1833

Ohio Supreme Court · decided 1833-09-15

<p>Bail for stay of execution is not liable to suit until execution has issued against the judgment debtor.</p>

Decided 1833-09-15

BY THE COURT.

¶1The suit below was upon a recognizance acknowledged before a justice of the peace for stay of execution on a judgment. It is objected to the judgment rendered against the bail: 1. That it appears the recognizance was drawn to be signed *460by Burr and another, and was inoperative because it was only signed by Burr. 2. That it does not appear that any execution was issued against the defendant in the original judgment before this suit was commenced.

¶2The issuing of an execution against the judgment debtor after the stay is out, is expressly required by the statute, before suit is brought against the bail; 29 O. L. 182. The second objection is, therefore, fatal; and the judgment must be reversed. The other objection need not be noticed.
