Oapias, to June 1784. The bail-bond sued to September 1784 ; and December 1784, judgment was signed on the bail-bond suit, nisi special bail filed in thirty days. Default was made in filing special bail, and a fi. fa. issued to June 1785.

Opinion:
*And now, August 8, 1785, Sitgreaves filed defendant's affidavit of a just defence, and obtained a rule to show cause, why the proceedings in the bail-bond suit should not be stayed, on paying costs, pleading issu-ably in the original action, taking short notice of trial, and consenting that the judgment on the bail-bond should stand as a security.
