Syllabus

<p>Bankruptcy. Effect on pending actions. Validity of judgment.</p> <p>Where a plaintiff recovered a judgment against defendant before a justice of the peace and defendant gave bond and appealed to the circuit court, and thereafter defendant was adjudged a bankrupt, but had not been granted a discharge before his case was brought to trial in the circuit court, and judgment was rendered against him and the sureties on his bond in that court, the bankruptcy court having authorized the plaintiff to proceed to judgment. In such case the circuit court had jurisdiction of the parties and the subject-matter, and its judgment was valid against the defendant and his sureties and a subsequent discharge in bankruptcy of defendant did not relieve his sureties.</p>
