Description

C. Lee, for plaintiffs in error. A prisoner in the bounds is as much in jail as if within the walls of the prison. The oath of the insolvent debtor was provided as the guard against fraud; but the bond is only a substitute for walls to the prison-bounds. As to the surety, a discharge by a competent authority is conclusive. The warrant of discharge is an indemnity to the sheriff, whether obtained by fraud or not. The act of assembly does not expressly provide, that it shall indemnify the surety as well as the sheriff, but he is within the same reason.
