JUDGMENT for the plaintiff was obtained in this case on the 25th July, 1840 (June term, 1840, No. 914). August 1, 1840, B. Duncan entered absolute security for stay of execution, under the act of 16th June, 1836, relating to executions, and shortly afterwards died.

Decided 1840-09-19

Pee Curiam.—

¶1We find no authority in the act of June, 1836, for granting the plaintiff’s application. The plaintiff is not. without security in point of fact, for the estate of Duncan is liable, and the recognisance must be discharged out of it. As to its *428sufficiency to answer that end, we cannot inquire. We have ruled, that the insolvency of a surety, happening after the recog-nisance entered into, is not a ground on which the court will interfere and make an order, such as is asked for here.a

¶2Rule discharged.

¶3 Vide Warner v. Bancroft, ante 95, and Shove v. Edgell, ante 174; the latter case as to the security for thirty days.
