It is said that the prosecuting of a scire facias was the commencement of a new suit, which was no part of the duty of the defendant. But it is our opinion that, when an attorney undertakes to collect a debt, he is bound to sue out all process necessary to the object. A scire facias against bail is not to be considered a new suit,
