Syllabus

<p>1. Scire facias—Judgment.—A bail bond, in which the principal and sureties are “jointly and severally ” bound in a specific sum, will not, when forfeited, authorize a judgment for the full amount of the bond against each of the parties bound; nor when such a bond is forfeited after the trial of the principal, can judgment be rendered for the amount of the fine (where the same has not been paid) and costs.</p> <p>2. Judgment.—In such case the judgment rendered upon forfeiture should be for the penalty of the bond and the costs in the proceeding to collect it, not including the costs of the criminal prosecution.</p>
