AN execution had been issued in the cause first above mentioned, on which the sheriff was directed to levy 1,653 dollars, and 91 cents; and in the second cause, for 289 dollars and 53 cents. The sheriff levied on the first-mentioned execution, 1,322 dollars, and 49 cents, and had paid over to 7 7 7 7 1 the plaintiffs, L. T. 966 dollars, and 17 cents, and held * the residue, to be paid to either of the above parties, • • • • plaintiffs, as should be adjudged to be entitled to receive the money. The affidavit of Tracy stated, that the judgment was entered up, on a bond for 4,000 dollars,…

1Per curiam

It was part of the original agreement at the time the judgment was entered, that it should be a security for future advances, beyond the amount, then actually due to the plaintiffs We see no solid objection to this, any more than to a mortgage being held as security for future advances; so far, at least, as the amount of the condition of the bond. If the amount of the advances, or responsibilities, exceeded the condition of the bond, it would present a different question. Under the circumstances of this case, we think the motion ought not to be granted.

Motion denied.
