' To retain possession of the mare Bedinger executed'the usual retaining bond, with Morrill as his surety, conditioned to \u201cperform the judgment ef the court in this action, and return the property if a return is adjudged.\u201d In the justice\u2019s court there was judgment for Bedinger, but on appeal to the circuit court the judgment was for Daniel for tbe mare or her value and all costs. Thereupon the mare was delivered up by Bedinger, and. execution was issued against him for the costs and returned nulla bona. .This suit was then instituted before a justice of the peace, on the bond, against Bedinger, and Morrill, his surety, for the costs: Bed-\u2019 inger was not served with process. Morrill defended, but on appeal to the circuit court judgment was rendered against him, and he appealed to this court.\nThe condition of the bond required of the defendant in replevin, to. obtain the release of property taken by the sheriff; is \u201c that the defendant shall perform the judgment of the court in the action.\u201d This, is the language of the statute. Mansf. Dig., sec. Jf8i. The judgment of the com't, when in favor of the plaintiff, is for the return of the property or its value, with damages for the detention, (lbsec. JiSi,) and as the plaintiff recovering judgment in every case has a judgment for costs-against the defendant, (/&., sec. xofs,}- it follows that the surety upon such a bond is not exonerated by the delivery of the property merely, but is liable for the damages and costs as well. \u25a0\nAffirm.",
