SURETY COMPANY LIABLE.
The Attorney Generals Opinion OF
n POstoHlce Case.

Attorney General Knox has rendered a
decision, at the request of the Postmaster
General, in the case of a clerk IN the
registry division of the New York City
DOstoftice, who, it is alleged. stole from
registered letters 1900, of which 81, $50 was
recovered.
Upon demand of the Government. for
the payment by the surety company which
went en- the bond of the clerk of the
difference between $1,000 and 1857 the
Postmaster General says that the surety
company paid $40. or $40 for each of the
two letters from which money had been
stolen.
The surety company paid this sum on
the ground that its liability was only to
the amount of the indemnity payable by
the Government to the sender or owner
of the letter, under the act of February
q 1897. The Postofiice Department held
that the registry clerk was liable to the
Government for the entire amount stolen.
In stating his opinion of the case. the
Attorney General held that the liability
of the surety company was not limited by
the amount of the indemnity payable by
the Government to the sender or owner
of a registered letter lost in the mails
This being my conclusion" SAYS the
Attorney General. lit becomes unneces-
sary for me to answer your further uues-
ton concerning the proper form of bond
since the form before me appears to be
authorized by law, and to bind the surety
beyond the sum rendered for each of the
stolen letters-that is to the extent claim
cd by the Government"
