| Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Appeal from St. Louis Circuit Court.
E. C. Kehr, for appellant.
Krum, Decker & Krum, for respondent.
This was a suit brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, who was sheriff of St Louis county, under the statute for the claim and delivery of personal property.

All the evidence offered was admitted, and all the instructions asked were given on both sides, and no exceptions were taken to any ruling of the court.
It is objected that the judgment is erroneous because it was entered against one Jamm, who is alleged to have been the agent of the principal, as well as the principal and the sureties on the bond. The bond is executed with Jamm as principal and two other persons as sureties, and he does not purport to act as agent, but binds himself expressly as principal.
The statute enacts that if the plaintiff fails to prosecute his suit with effect, and have the property in possession, the court or jury shall assess the value of the property, and that judgment shall go against the plaintiff and his securities. This is predicated on the supposition that the plaintiff will generally be...
