There is no sufficient proof that proper search has been made for the bond. It was last seen in the plaintiff\u2019s office, but no search was made for it there. Again, it was in the papers in the cause when on trial, and search made for it since, but how thorough the search was, is not shown. The clerk was told to look for the bond, but where ? and how did he obey the direction ? Besides, the proof of the contents of the bond, and its mode of execution, is by no means satisfactory.\nFor these reasons, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.\nJudgment reversed.",
