The plaintiff had judgment against the defendant surety on a statutory bond furnished to effect the release of an attachment of personal property. Under the statute, the surety on such a bond is liable only to the extent of the actual value of the interest of the principal in the property released. General Statutes § 8047. The defendant surety claimed that the value of the interest of the defendant in the original suit in the property attached at that time was less than the amount of the bond and that the finding of the trial court to the contrary was erroneous.
