Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court March 15, 1817 (Dawes v. Sweet)

The Court

were very clear that an action on the bond will lay, to enforce a decree of this Court rendered upon an appeal. But as a demand was necessary to be averred and proved, they gave leave to the plaintiff to amend his replication, by inserting such an averment ; and to the replication thus amended the defendants might rejoin or demur, as they should be advised.
