Williams v. Skipwith

E. H. Skipwith sued the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad company, before a justice of the-peace, on an account for $250.

The suit was commenced on the seventeenth day of March, 1873, and the summons was served the same day.

No affidavit, nor bond, as required in suits by attachment, was filed, nor order of attachment issued; but the defendant, on the eighteenth day of the same month, filed with the justice, and which was approved by him, the bond of B. D. Williams, to the plaintiff, in the sum of $500, conditioned that the defendant would perform the judgment that should be rendered in the case.
