Syllabus

<p>ACTION ON GUARDIAN’S BOND-LIMITATIONS.</p> <p>A bond given by a guardian conditioned to account for the proceeds of sale of his ward’s real estate, under Bal. Code, § 6427, prescribing the statutory duties of guardians of insane persons, is not an obligation in itself, but merely operates as collateral security for the proper discharge of the duties imposed on him by statute; and an action for the breach of such duties would be governed by the statute of limitations barring the commencement of actions “upon a contract or liability, express or implied, which is not in writing, and does not arise out of any written instrument.”</p>
