Syllabus

<p>1. Pleading and evidence —proof of execution of a bond by a corporation. Where an appeal bond of a railway company is sued on, and there is no plea under oath denying it is the bond of the company, and it purports on its face to be the bond of the company, and is signed by its president and secretary, with the corporate seal attached, no other proof of its being the bond of the company is necessary.</p> <p>2. Evidence—in suit on appeal bond. In a suit upon an appeal bond given on an appeal to this court, the judgment of affirmance by this court is conclusive as to the validity of the judgment appealed from, and no inquiry can be had as to the merits of the original controversy, nor as to the validity of the judgment.</p>
