Broome v. Hurst
4 Yeates 123
Pa.
1804
Check Treatment
By the Court.

There is an evident marked distinction between the arrests of ministerial officers, and the acts of the bail in taking up the principal. It has been quaintly said, that the bail have their principal always upon a string, and may pull the string whenever they please, and render him in their own discharge. 6. Mod. 231.

Motion denied.
