Maynadier v. Wroe, Special Bail of Bickenton.
    Upon surrender of the principal to the sheriff by the bail under the law of Virginia, notice must be given immediately to the creditor, his attorney, or agent.
    The knowledge of the plaintiff’s attorney is not sufficient.
    The question was, whether the surrender of bail to the sheriff, with the knowledge of the plaintiff’s attorney, without regular notice, according to the 31st section of the Act of Virginia of the 12lh of December, 1792, is a discharge of the bail.
   The CouRT

was of opinion that the notice must come from the bail, and be given immediately to the creditor, his attorney, or agent.
