1. ““Thomas Robb, an indemnitor of the Security Trust Company, surety on a forthcoming replevin bond, was notified to defend an action thereon, which he did. After an adverse judgment, it was agreed that a writ of error should be sued out, and the indemnitor made arrangements with the City Trust, Safe Deposit & Surety Company, a surety company satisfactory to the Security Trust Company, to execute the necessary bond. During the 10 days within which the bond could be filed and the supersedeas obtained, the Security Trust Company, with knowledge, acquiesced in the arrangements, and, on the last day on which the bond could be executed, a bond properly drawn and executed by the City Trust, Safe Deposit & Surety Company was presented to the Security Trust Company for its signature, according to the uniform practice, when it for the first time refused to execute the bond or continue the litigation. Thomas Robb, the indemnitor, sued out the writ of error in the name of the Security Trust Company, without a supersedeas, to which the Security Trust Company subsequently objected, and, after paying the judgment appealed from, notified the indemnitor that, unless further security was given, it would move to dismiss the appeal, whereupon the writ of error was discontinued by the indemnitor.””
