Syllabus

<p>Bonds — Tax collector — Public officers — Act oj June 25,' 1885, P. L. 187.</p> <p>Where a tax collector’s bond is taken in the name of the commissioners of the county, and not in the name of the commonwealth as required by statute, and a suit is brought in the name of the commonwealth as legal plaintiff, the sureties cannot, after a trial upon the merits and a judgment against them, complain of the variance between the obligee named in the bond, and the legal plaintiff in the suit. Such a defect may be cured by amendment, and such amendment will be allowed even in the appellate court.</p>
