CHURCHMAN v. PAYTE Annotate this Case CHURCHMAN v. PAYTE 1913 OK 424 133 P. 178 37 Okla. 649 Case Number: 2755 Decided: 06/19/1913 Supreme Court of Oklahoma CHURCHMAN v. PAYTE. Syllabus ¶0 JUSTICES OF THE PEACE--Appeal Bond--Defects--Amendment. Where the bond given on appeal from justice court to county court is in proper form in all respects, and contains all the statutory conditions, except the condition to "prosecute the appeal to effect and without unnecessary delay," it is error to refuse leave to correct error by filing a new bond containing the omitted condition. C. M. Threadgill, for plaintiff in error. Trice & Moore, for defendant in error. ROSSER, C. ¶1 This appeal is from an order of the county court dismissing an appeal on account of a defect in the appeal bond. The facts in this case are substantially the same as the facts in the case of Spaulding Mfg. Co. v. Roff, 34 Okla. 309 , 125 P. 727. It was there held that it was the duty of the court to permit an appeal bond to be corrected or amended as provided in section 5394, Comp. Laws 1909. That case has been followed in C., R. I. & P. Ry. Co. v. Moore, 34 Okla. 199 , 124 P. 989; Spaulding Mfg. Co. v. Witter, 34 Okla. 313 , 125 P. 729, and Roberts v. Converse, ante, 131 P. 539. This case must be reversed and remanded, with instructions to the county court of Coal county to permit the plaintiff in error to file an amended appeal bond, and to proceed with the trial of the case in regular course. ¶2 By the Court: It is so ordered.
