Head Matter:
Perkins and Another v. Smith, in Error.
Tuesday, May 13.

Opinion:
DEBT on a bond, and judgment by default. The plaintiff Suggested, that the bond was conditioned for the delivery of property taken on execution, and assigned as a breach that the condition was broken. Judgment, without a jury, for the amount of the execution. Heldfthat, supposing the assignment of the breach to be only informal, and the want of a judgment the penalty to be unavailing in error, yet the breach should have been found, and the damages assessed, by a jury.
