#### John A. Orr v. Andrew McBryde and others.

From Mecklenburg.

Appeal bond contained no covenant to perforan the judgment, sentence, or decree of the Superior Court; but merely a covenant to pay all such costs and charges as by law is required in such case. — No judgment can be rendered against the securities in such bond, it not being taken in the manner prescribed by the act of Assembly regulating appeals from the County to the Superior Court.

John A. Orr sued out an original attachment against Nathan F. Orr, and Andrew McBryde was summoned as a garnishee. Haying made Jus garnishment, the County Court condemned in his hands, to satisfy the recovery of the Plaintiff, the sum of three hundred and seventy-four dollars. — From this judgment of condemnation, McBryde appealed to the Superior Court and entered into the following bond with securities ; to-wit,

*236The judgment of the County Court having been affirmed by the Superior Court, the Plaintiff sued out a scire facias against the securities for the appeal, to shew cause why judgment should not be entered up against them for the amount for which it had been rendered against the Appellant, Andrew McBryde ; and they shewed for cause that the appeal bond was not taken pursuant to the directions of the act of Assembly regulating appeals. — The case was sent to this Courts and

Bx the Court.

This case is not to be distinguished from that of Forsyth v. McCormick*, where the condition of an appeal bond expressed in the same language with this, was held to be too great a departure from the act of Assembly pi’escribing the form, and essentially in not securing the main purpose for which an appeal bond is required. This.bond contains no covenant to perform the sentence, judgment or decree of the Superior Court.— Judgment must be entered for the Defendants.
