Syllabus

<p>An indictment was found against D. for assault with intent to kill. A. and W. became sureties for D. on his bail bond, naming the offense as an aggravated assault. D. failing to appear, judgment nisi was entered against A. and W. on their bond, which was afterwards made final. This was held to be error, on the ground that one offense was described in the bond, and the judgments nisi and final were rendered for another and different offense.</p>
