Head Matter:
No. 1032.
Widow Briant vs. Désirée Hébert et al.
When the signatures of the two sureties of an appeal bond appear at the bottom oí the bond, and the name of one of them appears in the body of the bond, the-bond is good and sufficient.
When the sheriff makes a return of a writ of ft. fa., under which he has seized certain property after the return day of the writ, and retains a copy of the writ, written by himself, it is not necessary that he should append to the copy his certificate of its correctness, in order to enable him to make a valid sale of the seized property. Under such circumstances, the return of the writ after its return day, will not affect the validity of the sale.
APPEAL from the Third Judicial District Court, parish of St. Martin. Fontelieu, J.
E. Simon & L. J. Ganj for plaintiff and appellant.
Mouton & De Baillou for defendant and appellee.

Opinion:
On Motion to Dismiss.
The opinion, of the court was delivered by
Manning, C. J.
The motion to dismiss is based on the ground that the names of the sureties to the appeal are not inserted in the body of the bond. This ground would be good, if the fact were as stated. There are two sureties, whose signatures are at the bottom of the bond, which is for one hundred dollars, and the name of one of them is inserted in the body of the bond, and that makes it good. The motion is denied.
