No. 942.
    Mayor and Council of Monroe vs. T. S. Richmond et al.
    The dismissal of a suit on a tax collector’s bond, as to some of the sureties, for want of jurisdiction, does not operate a discharge of the other sureties.
    
      The failure to act vigorously in pursuing a tax collector for liis defalcation, or, in other words, a mere hesitancy without a positive extension of time, will not discharge the sureties to his bond.
