<p>Abbest.—Special Bail.</p> <p>Where a defendant in an action has been arrested under the non-imprisonment act of 1831, he should be discharged upon giving special bail as required by the statute.</p> <p>Whether the Code has not changed the form of bail in all actions, guare.</p>

Decided 1877-02-15

Davis, P. J.

¶1The defendant in the action is entitled to be discharged, upon giving special bail, as required by the statute. The order is not to be effective until such bail shall be entered upon notice to plaintiff’s attorney. There may be some doubt whether the Code has not changed the form of taking bail in all *203actions, but for greater safety the bail will be taken in the form of a bail-piece, under the old practice, and also by executing an undertaking in the form prescribed by the Code.

¶2There was no appeal.
