McMurria v. Powell Bros. & Chason

1. A security on an appeal bond in a claim case, where the claimant is the appellant, is liable, not only for the costs and any damages that might be assessed for a frivolous appeal, but also for any damages that might be assessed against the claimant in the event it is determined that the claim was interposed for delay only; and it therefore follows that if the sole security on the appeal bond is the same person as the security on the claim bond, the plaintiff in execution has, by the giving of the appeal bond, obtained no additional security.
