To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Because there has been a breach of the bend* For what are bis securities responsible? A breach of the bond by the principal. When are they liable? Whenever the breach occurs. The principal cannot be sued before a breach. If, therefore, (as is beyond a doubt) an ad- ministrator or executor, can be sued on his official bond, as soon as "nulla bona" shall have been returned on an execution against him, bis securities may be made de- fendants to the same action. If there be any right of action on t...he bond, it must be entire, and will be legal, unless the legal remedy, by accident, is rendered Ineffectual. In the cases of Taliaferro, &c. vs. Gaines, repotted by Call; Clark vs. Webb, &c. 2 H. and Md., 9, and Spotswood vs. Dandridge, &c., 4 Munford, 289, it is decided, that a suit in chancery may be maintained against an executor and bis securities, on their bond, before a devastavit is fixed on the executor by judgment* As the obligation of the bond is purely legal, we are at a loss to perceive why a suit at law, may not be brought oq it, as soon as any lability attaches to it.
