| Parties | CORDER, Plaintiff in Error, v. MARTIN & GLASCOCK, Defendants in Error. |
| Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
1. A bond given to obtain an injunction of a judgment at law was conditioned that the defendant in the judgment should pay “all sums of money, damages and costs that should be adjudged against him, if the injunction should be dissolved.” The injunction was dissolved, and the decree was that the bill be dismissed, and that the complainant pay the costs of the injunction suit. Held, The securities in the bond are not liable to pay to the defendant in the injunction suit the amount of the judgment enjoined; nor the costs of that suit, unless he had first paid them to the officers entitled to them.

Lane obtained an injunction to restrain the collection of the money, and gave an injunction bond to the plaintiff, executed by the present defendants, Martin and Glascock. The condition of the bond, after reciting that the injunction was granted to restrain the collection of the judgment recovered against Lane, provided that, “if Lane should abide the decision which should be made on the bill, and pay all sums of money, damages and costs, that should be adjudged against him if the injunction should be dissolved, then the bond to be void.” The injunction was dissolved, and the bill dismissed, and Lane was decreed to pay the costs in the chancery suit. The breaches of the bond stated in the petition are, that Lane did not pay the amount of the judgment at law, and that he has not paid to ...
