New York Supreme Court

Decided May 15, 1829PublishedCited by 2 opinions

Motion for mandamus. The common pleas quashed an appeal, because the bond omitted to state the day of the rendition of the judgment in the court below.

1Opinion of the Court

By the Court, Savage, C. J.

The common pleas erred. There was no variance between the bond and the justice’s return. The obligee can recover, without resorting to proof aliunde. Let an alternative mandamus issue.
