§ 16-68-305 — Requirement of additional security

In an action in which a bond for costs has been given, the defendant, at any time before judgment and after reasonable notice to the plaintiff, may move the court for additional security on the part of the plaintiff. If, on the motion, the court is satisfied that the surety in the plaintiff's bond has removed from the state, or is not sufficient for the amount of the bond, it may dismiss the action, unless, in a reasonable time to be fixed by the court, sufficient security is given by the plaintiff. Civil Code, § 702; C. & M. Dig., § 1848; Pope's Dig., § 2367; A.S.A. 1947, § 27-2306.
