Opinions

MOORE, J.

Appellant applied for and obtained an order for a suspensive appeal from a judgment against him for a specific sum .

March 5, 1906.

The Court fixed the amount of the bond at Fifty Dollars and it was accordingly furnished. As this amount does not exceed by one-half the amount for which'the judgment was given, C.* P. 575-, the appellee thereupon moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the amount of the bond is not sufficient to justify a suspensive appeal.

That proposition may be true, but it does not lead up to the dismissal of the appeal. Where by order of Court a suspen-sive appeal has been allowed on appellant’s furnishing bond in an amount fixed by the Court and bond has been furnished accordingly, it will not be dismissed because it cannot be maintained. Though not good as a suspensive appeal, it stands as a devolutive appeal.
