O’Sullivan, J.
(concurring). It strikes me that tbe majority have overlooked the substance of a part of the defendant’s affidavit. As one reason why summary judgment should not be entered, the defendant stated, under oath, that her “responsibility upon said bond is the value of the said automobile at the time of said attachment.” To be sure, she did not specifically say in the affidavit that the value of the automobile was less than the amount of the judgment, but that was undoubtedly what she intended the quoted words to mean. Since this was her obvious purpose, she was entitled to show that judgment should enter for only such an amount as did not exceed the value of the attached automobile. For this reason, I prefer to find error on the defendant’s first contention rather than on the second.
