Company, of New York. reversed the
decision of the District Court at Rich
mond. and held that the surety com
pany is not liable for the $1,000 in

The case grew out Of two actions
ut law brought by Jones against Joseph

other for $4,000, both based upon al
legged violations OF certain contracts
entered into between these two parties.
First entered upon tn" docket Of a State
