2 Ky. 181 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1802
The first error assigned is, “ that the assignee of a bond with a collateral condition is not authorized to bring a suit thereon in his own name, where the bond was executed and the assignment made previous to- the passage of the act of assembly passed in 1798.” And of this opinion is the court, for that act must, from the wording of it, have a prospective construction.
The fourth error is, “ that the sheriff has not endorsed the name of the bail on the writ, and judgment is taken against the appearance bail.” The law requires that the sheriff shall return on the writ the name of the bail by him taken and a copy of the bail bond to the clerk’s office before the day of appearance, and provides that if he fails to do it, he may be proceeded against in the same manner as the plaintiff could proceed against the bail. Therefore, it is considered by the court, that the judgment aforesaid be reversed and set aside, and that the appellant recover of the appellee his costs in this behalf expended, which is ordered to be certified to the said court.
