Syllabus

<p>Appeal Bond — Validity—Appeal Taken in Action at Law.</p> <p>An appeal will not lie from a judgment of a federal court awarding a writ of mandamus, which is at law; and where such an appeal was prayed for, and inadvertently allowed, a bond given thereon was a nullity, and did not operate as a supersedeas, nor was it based upon any consideration which could bind the parties thereto, either as a statutory or a common-law obligation.1</p>
