Statement of the Case.
Action by L. W. Hubbell Fertilizer Company, a corporation, plaintiff, against D. Jacobellis and Antonio Tarallo, defendants.
Plaintiff recovered a judgment December 10, 1914, against defendant Jacobellis, who the same day prayed and was allowed an appeal to this court on giving an appeal bond within thirty days with security, etc. The appeal bond was filed January 18, 1915, thirty-nine days after the rendition of the judgment. The bond *380was executed by defendant Jacobellis as principal and Antonio Tarallo as surety, and recited the recovery of the judgment, the prayer by and allowance to defendant Jacobellis of an appeal, and provided that if Jacobellis paid the amount of the judgment, etc., in case the judgment was affirmed, the obligation to be void; otherwise, etc. The same day Jacobellis sued o.ut of this court a writ of error and gave a supersedeas bond in the usual form. April 19, 1915, the appeal was dismissed. This action was then brought on the appeal bond and judgment recovered, to reverse which this writ of error is prosecuted.
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Appeal and ebbob, § 1870 * —when failure of appeal bond to conform to order allowing appeal does not release parties executing it. The fact that an appeal bond was filed nine days later than the time fixed by the order allowing the appeal does not relieve the principal and surety on the bond from liability thereon.
2. Appeal and ebbob, § 1851*—when maker of appeal bond bound by its recitals. The maker of an appeal bond is bound by the recitals therein.
3. Appeal and ebbob, § 1860*—when dismissal of appeal equivalent to affirmance. The dismissal of an appeal is equivalent to a legal and technical affirmance of the judgment below so as to entitle appellee to claim a forfeiture of the appeal bond and have .his action therefor.
D. Jacobellis and Antonio Tarallo, pro se.
Allen Gr. Mills, for defendant in error.
