As thebond Of the sergeautat.Arms
was given to secure the performance oi
bis official duties, it cannot be seen how
his bondsmen can be held for any loss
incurred by him acting US a disbursing
officer without any authority Of law, OF
how his private property could be
touched. 6ilcotts bond might possibly
be held good, but even this Is doubtful.
Much depends upon It's phraseology,
and then, as It was given to assure Mr..
Leedom against loss, it must he made
apparent that that officer has been sus.
tained from personal loss before the
bondsmen could BIZ called upon. Alto.
