Supreme Court of New Jersey February 15, 1807 (Steelman v. Ackley)

Kirkpatrick, C. J.

— Ackley had recovered a judgment against Steelman, upon which he was taken in execution and committed to Gloucester jail. Being in custody, Steelman gave bond and security for the privilege of the limits. This bond became forfeited by a breach of the condition, and was assigned by the sheriff to Ackley; upon this bond, this suit was brought, and a judgment entered.
