John I. Wagner vs. Henry Adams.
It is not necessary that the plaintiff should himself execute a bond for security for costs, two sufficient sureties will do.

H. Adams, Defts Counsel. Lobdell and Adams, Defts Attys.
J. Newland, Tiffs Counsel. Hammond and Bates, Tiffs Attys.

Opinion:
H. Adams for defendant, persisted that the statute on this subject should be construed as requiring the plaintiff himself to execute the bond with one or more sureties. J. Newland for plaintiff, cited 2 R. S., 575, § 4; 4 Paige, 273, showing that the plaintiff need not join in the bond*
Jewett, Justice.
It is not necessary that the plaintiff should himself execute the bond, when he does not, two sufficient sureties must do so.
