Syllabus

<p>TJndek our statutes, undertakings are on the same footing with bonds.</p> <p>Where an instrument, purporting to be a bond on appeal, contains words of obligation, and has a scroll opposite the name of one of the two signers, who contemporaneously verify the instrument as their bond, it is the bond of both.</p> <p>A refusal by the County Court, on appeal from a Justice, to permit an amendment of the complaint, is matter of discretion, and there being no affidavit of materiality, nor any showing of the importance of the amendment, this Court will not interfere.</p>
