Syllabus

<p>1. Bail Bond—Indictment—Case Stated.—A. was held to bail for his appearance before the District Court upon a charge of swindling. He was indicted in the District Court for theft, and, failing to appear, judgment nisi was entered against him and his sureties, and subsequently was made final. Held, that an indictment for theft will not support the forfeiture of a bail bond for swindling.</p> <p>3. Same.—Judgment nisi must state that the same will be made final unless good cause be shown at the next term of the court why the defendant did not appear. This requirement of the Code is not satisfied by a citation “to show cause, if any they have, why said judgment as here renrendered shall not be made final and absolute.’’</p>
