John Torrent v. The Muskegon Booming Company.
    
      Practice in the Supreme Court: Appeal bond. A bond given by an appellant in chancery to the Supreme Court, if defective, may be amended by leave of tbe Court.
    
      Heard and decided July 7.
    
    
      D. D. Hughes moves to dismiss the appeal, because:
    1. That the appeal bond filed in this cause by the said complainant and appellant is not given in any sum or amount fixed or directed by a Judge of the Circuit Court, or by a Circuit Court Commissioner.
    
      2. That the appeal bond filed in said cause has but ■one surety.
   The Court held that, as in the case of McClintock v. Laing (19 Mich., 300), where the appeal bond was not ■approved by a proper officer, yet a new bond was allowed to be filed •, so in this case, a new bond may be filed on •the payment of $10 costs in this motion.
