¶1By the Court,

Nelson, J.

¶2Had the defendant been holden to bail in this court for the sum mentioned in the declaration» the surety offered would have been insufficient; but as the suit was commenced by declaration, and of course no bail required, a bond in the penalty of $1000 is amply sufficient.
