Ellis v. Hull

Where an appeal is taken to the Supreme Court from a judgment, by filing notice of appeal and undertaking, and the appeal is afterwards dismissed by the Supreme Court for failure of the appellant to send up a transcript, the sureties are liable on the undertaking on appeal.

Appeal from the Seventh Judicial District, Solano County. On the twenty-fourth day of December, 1861, judgment was rendered in the County Court of Solano County in favor of Ellis against Hull & Hull for three hundred and fifty-one dollars and fifty-three cents damages, and for one hundred and four dollars and fifty cents costs. On the twenty-third day of January, 1862, the defendants appealed to the Supreme Court, and the defendants W. Long and S. W. Long, as sureties, signed the undertaking on appeal. On the twelfth day of April, 1862, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, because the transcript had not been filed. This action was brought on the undertaking on appeal. The Court gave judgment for plaintiff, and defendants appealed.
