Supreme Court of Missouri · decided 1858-10-15
Louis Court of Common Pleas. Under and by virtue of an execution in favor of Cochran and Clark against Brooks, the sheriff of St. Louis county levied upon certain personal property as the property of said Brooks. Goddard made claim to said property as his own, and supported his claim by his affidavit as required by the local act of March 3,1855. (See Sess. Acts, 1855, p. 464.) The plaintiff Cochran gave an indemnification bond, with two sureties, in the penal sum of $2,400.
Decided 1858-10-15
¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2The only objection which the court can entertain to a bond of indemnity, under the seventh section of the local act concerning the sheriff and marshal of St. Louis county, (Sess. Acts, 1855, p. 464,) is in relation to the sufficiency of the security; and of course the action of the court under the eighth section is not conclusive on the claimant as to any other valid objection to the bond.
¶3The judgment will be affirmed;
