Decided February 15, 1897

Hamilton Circuit Court · decided 1897-02-15

Heard on Error to the Common Pleas Court. This was in action for recovery of $7,500 from the defendants on an appeal bond executed by John B. Mannix, assignee of J. B. and Edward Purcell. The appeal was from the judgment of the probate court, which was June 2, 1886, rendered against Mannix for $805,827.70.

Decided 1897-02-15

Swing, J.

¶1We are of the opinion that this case comes within the rule laid down in the case of Meyers et al. v. Parker, 6 O. S., 501.

¶2The liability of the sureties on the bond in this case was to abide the judgment of the appellate court, to wit, the court of common pleas. There is no judgment of the court of common pleas, hence they are not liable.

¶3The judgment of the court of common pleas was reversed by the circuit court, and by consent of the parties to the action — not the sureties — that court rendered another and a different judgment. The sureties did not agree to be liable for the separate and distinct judgment of the circuit court, but they did agree to be liable for the satisfaction of the judgment of the court of common pleas.

¶4When the judgment of the court of common pleas was reversed and held for naught, their obligation on that judgment ceased.

¶5The judgment of the court of common pleas is therefore affirmed.
