Johnson v. Maykowski

Rodney, J.,

delivering the opinion of the Court:

The first part of the statute and down to the brackets is an old statute first enacted in 1825 (Vol. 6, Delaware Laws 453), and was, until April 2, 1925, the entire statutory form of an appeal bond from a judgment rendered by a Justice of the Peace. The unreasonable necessity of - a separate action on an appeal bond in certain cases clearly led to the approval on July 2, 1925, of the latter part of the section included in brackets, passed as a portion of Chap. 223, Vol. 34, Laws of Delaware, page 523, and resulting in the Statute as it now exists.
