Long v. Kruger

FISHER, Chief Justice. We are asked to dismiss this appeal for want ■of jurisdiction on account of the alleged insufficiency of the appeal bond, for the following reasons: This is an injunction suit, in which appellant gave an injunction bond, ■on which Leonard Magee was a surety; judgment was rendered in favor of appellee against appellant and said surety for damages and costs on the appeal bond filed in this case; the said Leonard Magee is one of the sureties. That there is only one surety on said bond besides Magee. The point here raised is, that the appeal bond is insufficient because it has only one surety; that Magee is not a proper surety, as judgment was rendered against him for damages and costs, by reason of his being a surety on the injunction bond. We will follow the cases of Trammell v. Trammell, 15 Texas, 291; Saylor v. Marx, 56 Texas, 90; and Sampson v. Solinsky, 75 Texas, 663, which authorizes us to hold the bond sufficient. The alleged defects in the bonds passed upon in those cases, and the liabilities of the sureties against whom the judgments were rendered, are practically the same as exist in the case before us. Motion to dismiss the appeal will be overruled. Motion overruled.
