• 41 Ill. 352

Syllabus

<p>Securities on official bonds — liability where there have been two bonds given for different terms of office. An execution was delivered to a constable, but before he had taken any steps for its collection his term of office expired. He was re-elected, and gave different securities on his new official bond from those on his first bond. During his second term of office he made a levy of the execution and collected the money. Failing to pay it over, the securities on the first bond were held liable — not those upon the second bond.</p>
