Case No. 12,883.

SIMPSON v. LEGG.

[2 Cranch, C. C. 132.]2

Circuit Court, District of Columbia.

April Term, 1817.

JUDGMENT—MOTION—BOND TO SECURE RENT.

Judgment by motion, on notice, cannot be obtained on a bond given to secure rent upon an attachment on a suggestion that a tenant is about to remove.

Motion for judgment on a bond given to secure rent upon an attachment issued upon a suggestion that the tenant was about to remove. See St. Va. Nov. 29, 1792, p. 154, § 8.

Mr. Swann, for defendant. The act of assembly does not authorize summary judgment on such a bond.

And so it was decided by THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, absent).
