United States Circuit Court September 30, 1886 (Ferguson v. Dent)

Hammond, J.

The affidavits here show, what is well known to the court, that it was intended by the defendants and the court that this bond should be a supersedeas bond. The penalty was sufficiently large to cover any damages likely to come within the liability pending the appeal. Kountze v. Omaha Hotel Co., 107 U. S. 378; S. C. 2 Sup. Ct. Rep. 911; Roberts v. Cooper, 19 How. 373.
