The judgment of the court was pronounced by
Kihs, J.
The appellee has moved to dismiss this appeal, on the ground that the appellant has .acquiesced in the judgment appealed from, by voluntarily executing it.
The judgment appealed from dismissed ji rulo~taken on Fullerton, to show cause why he should not pay the amount of a judgment rendered iu an attachment suit against Cassily, in which suit Fullertonsurety on the bond given by the .defendant for the release of the property attached. The rule upon the surety was proceeded by a fi. fa. issued against the judgment debtor, ■which was returned nulla bona. Subsequently to the rendition of the judgment appealed from an alias fi. fa. was issued, which at the date of the appeal had not been returned. This it is contended is a voluntary execution of the judgment. The two executions which have issued were not awarded under the judgment appealed from, but under the judgment rendered against the defendant in the attachment suit, which the plaintiff could legally enforce with,out prejudice to his rights against the surety on the bond. It is true that a satisfaction of the writ would extinguish the claim against the surety; but against the latter he has obtained no judgment, upon* which to^issue an execution. The object of his rule was to obtain such a judgment against the surety rendering the latter liable upon the bond, and the appeal is from the judgment dis*359missing that rule, which is wholly distinct from the judgment rendered in the principal cause, and which the plaintiff has been endeavoring to execute. There has been, therefore, no acquiescence in the judgment appealed from.
The motion to dismiss is, therefore, overruled.
