Taliaferro, J.

¶1The plaintiffs brought suit by attachment against R. L. Dupré and Jack Rhea, and attached ten bales of cotton and a pleasure carriage or buggy. Mrs. G-aulden, a resident of Mississippi, intervened, claiming to be the owner of the property attached. She bonded the property attached, giving Mrs. Johnson as her surety. On trial of plaintiffs’ suit against Dupre they had judgment against Dupré and against Mrs. Gaulden, intervenor, rejecting her demand as owner of the property attached. The plaintiffs ran executions against Dupré and Jack Rhea, and they were returned nulla bona. The suit now before us is on the release bond given by the intervenor. Judgment was rendered against the plaintiffs, on the ground that intervenors have not the right to release property seized under attachment. The bond, therefore, given by the intervenor is not a judicial bond, and the plaintiffs cannot recover. The plaintiffs have appealed.

¶2The judgment of the lower court was properly rendered. . In cases of the kind it has been settled that the defendant only can bond the property attached.

¶3It is ordered that the judgment appealed from be affirmed with costs.
