Head Matter:
Thompson and Others v. The Governor, in Error.
Thursday, May 8.

Opinion:
IF a suit be brought on a collector's bond against the principal and sureties, it is error to take judgment against the sure- tics alone, without a suggestion on the record of the sheriff's return to the writ of "non est inventus" as to the principal.
