Michigan Supreme Court October 10, 1871 (McCormick v. Bay City)

Campbell, Ch. J.

McCormick was sued on a bond for ten thousand dollars, given to secure the official conduct of Eobert McKinney, as comptroller of Bay City.

The bond was set forth as a sealed obligation. On the trial, a bond without seal was introduced, purporting to be the joint and several bond of McKinney as principal and McCormick and three others as sureties.
