Opinion

By the Court.

The defendant’s own statement as to the circumstances under which the bond was executed and delivered shows that it was signed by him and accepted by the magistrate. The fact that the magistrate would not approve it as sufficient until strengthened by the addition of a third surety did not exonerate either of those who signed it originally.

No stamp is required upon such a bond under the laws of the United States. Exceptions overruled.
