    Elijah Brush, attorney for United States
    Solomon Sibley and Jonas Harrison, attorneys for defendant
   OPINION BY

WOODWARD, C. J.

....{Journal, infra, *p. 81)

1. A surety on the bond of a person directly accountable for public money is indirectly accountable for public money.

3. Although the statute denying trial by jury contemplates in its general provisions a direct accountability, it is broad enough to include an indirect accountability.
