69 Wis. 213 | Wis. | 1887
The following opinion was filed September 20, 1887:
One of the two sureties in the undertaking on the appeal herein is neither a householder nor freeholder within this state. Por this reason the respondent moved to dismiss the appeal. The undertaking was given pursuant to B. S. sec. 3065, and the fact above stated was disclosed by the attempted justification of the sureties after due exception had been taken by the respondent to their sufficiency. Sec. 3065 provides that, in such cases,
The present statute (sec. 3065) is substantially like the statute on the same subject in force before the late revision. Tay. Stats. 1871, p. 1643, sec. 36. The only difference between them is that for the word “ as,” in the former statute, the words “in the manner” are employed in sec. 3065. This change does not alter the meaning of the statute, for “ as ” and “ in the manner,” as used in the two statutes, are synonymous. The construction we now give the present statute was given to the former statute in Smith v. C. & N. W. R. Co. 19 Wis. 89.
We hold that the qualifications of bail, under secs. 2704-2706, and of sureties, under sec. 3065, are the same.
The motion to dismiss the appeal will be granted, unless, within thirty days, the appellant pay the respondent $10, and perfect his undertaking on appeal by furnishing an additional surety therein, qualified as above indicated.
The appellant having failed to comply with the terms of the above order, the appeal was dismissed December 13, 1887.
