Quarles v. Buford , 3 Va. 487 ( 1812 )

the president pronounced the Court’s opinion, that borh judgments be reversed, “ because it does not appear, by the record, that the appellant was bail for the defendant, Hawes ; there being no bail bond,(^†) nor a copy thereof, which the law requires should be returned with the writ, and filed with the same in the clerk’s office.”
