Lipscomb, J.

In this case a writ of error was sued out before the last Term ; there were a bond and supersedeas. This was done in time to have been brought up to the last Term, *303and the writ was made returnable to the last Term. The record was not brought up. Brown. died. A new writ was taken out, and bond given. This bond was given to the legal representatives of Brown. The citation was served upon M. A. Brown, executrix, and was issued to her. The case was brought up, and is now submitted, and damages claimed as a delay case.

The appellant does not resist the affirmance of the judgment with damages; but resists the judgment being entered against the securities, because the bond is not in the terms of the Statute. We believe the bond does not pursue the terms of the Statute, and no judgment can be rendered thereon; but the judgment is affirmed against the appellant, with damages for the delay.

Affirmed with damages.
