State v. Depeder

65 Miss. 26

Opinion

Arnold, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The demurrer to the declaration should have been overruled. The execution of the bond was one of the steps in a proceeding authorized and required by law, in order to obtain license to retail liquor'. The bond was executed in a legal proceeding, and license, it is alleged, was thereupon issued. Section 2305 of the Code applies, as it does in all cases, where any bond, recognizance, obligation, or.* undertaking of any kind shall be executed in any legal proceeding, and such bond, or other obligation or undertaking shall have the effect in such proceeding which a bond or other undertaking, if payable or conditioned as prescribed by law, would have had.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings.
