Hoag v. Prime , 1 Silv. Sup. 515 ( 1889 )

Per Curiam:.

The liability of the defendants was limited by the amount mentioned in the undertaking. That was the amount fixed bythe justice in pursuance of section 1331, last sentence. It is important to the sureties that they should know the limit of their liability, and that they be enabled to justify under section 812. We have no doubt that the justice who tried the case decided correctly. Judgment affirmed, with costs to respondents, which may be set off against the recovery. All concur.
