        "text": "Lockwood, Justice,\ndelivered the opinion'of the Court:\nThis action was commenced by Freer, against Gordon S. and Henry G. Hubbard, before a justice of the peace, and judgment rendered against the defendants. An appeal was taken to the Municipal Court of the City of Chicago; and the appeal bond was executed in the name of the firm, to wit, \u201cHubbard and Co.,\u201d with only one seal. Freer made a motion to dismiss the appeal, on account of the defective execution of the bond, and the defendants made a cross motion, to permit them to amend the bond, or file a new one. The motion to dismiss was granted, and the cross motion overruled. This Court has frequently decided, that where an appeal bond is adjudged to be insufficient, the statute is imperative, that the Circuit Court shall permit a \u201c good and sufficient bond\u201d to be filed. The refusal to grant this permission, Was therefore error.\nThe judgment of dismissal is reversed with costs, and the cause remanded, with directions to the Court below, to permit the defendants below to file a good and sufficient bond, and then proceed to try the cause on its merits.\nJudgment reversed.\nNote. See Dedman v. Barber, Ante 254; Swafford v. The People, Ante 289; Crain v. Bailey et al., Ante 321; Yunt v. Brown, Ante 264.",
