Appeal from Parker. Tried below before the Hon. Charles Soward. The indictment and conviction were for exhibiting a gaming table. The sum fixed by the court on the appeal was one hundred and fifty dollars; but the two sureties were bound in but seventy-five dollars each.
1Opinion of the CourtWalker, J.
There is no such appeal bond in this case as the law requires. The obligation of the sureties covers but one-half of the amount of the bond.
The bond only, requires the attendance of the principal at that term of the court, being held at the time the bond was taken.
There is no obligation to appear at the next term of the court, to abide the judgment of the Supreme Court.
The appeal is dismissed.
Dismissed.
