    On certiorari to a Justice’s Court. In assumpsit, by Pu^ver against Row, in the Court below, it appeared that Puher, as a non-resident plaintiff, within the 25 dollar act, section .4, (1 R. L. 388-9,) had sued one Louks, who obtained an adjournment upon the defendant, Roto, signing the fol- . f r lowing instrument as secunty :

    The Justice waited an hour and a quarter at the place of adjournment, then heard the cause, and gave judgment for against the defendant, Louks, who soon after appeared with Row, the bail, (the Justice and Constable still being there) in whose presence some conversation passed about payjng the judgment, in which L. professed his readiness to go to gaol, rather than subject his surety; and Puher said he did not wish him to go to gaol; that Row was holden and must ° ° pay the judgment. Row told Pulver that L. was there, and he might take him in execution. L. was a young unmarried man, and worked for Row till some time in April thereafter, and was in the neighborhood of the parties and Justice, till about the 22cZ May, 1822, when the execution issued.

The judgment must be reversed. It is fairly to foe inferred, from the evidence in the case, that Louks, the original defendant, was not a freeholder; and it is expressly proved that he was an unmarried man. Execution might, therefore, have gone against him immediately ; or, admitting him to have been a freeholder, execution might then have issued in 30 days, which would have been on the 20th of March. The undertaking of Row was in the alternative, either that Louks should stand trial, and pay whatever damages and. costs might be recovered against him, or surrender himself in execution. The case of Tuttle et al. v. Kip, (19 John. 194) shows that Row had no authority to surrender Louks ; that “ the common law incidents of a recognizance of bail, according to the practice of Courts of record, do not apply to a Justice’s Court.” Until execution issued, and in the hands of the Constable, Louies could not be surrendered. It was, therefore, the duty of the plaintiff to have placed the execution in the Constable’s hands as soon as it could legally have been done, even without a request from Row. But Row did request the plaintiff to charge Louks in execution as soon as the judgment was obtained; and the evidence in the case shows that he might then, and for three months afterwards, have been taken. This brings the case within the principle of King v. Baldwin, (17 John. 384,) “ that the surety is discharged, if the creditor, upon request, neglect or refuse to call upon the principal, and the omission is injurious to the surety.”

But the plaintiff sued as a non-resident. The statute reqU¡re¿ no security to he given for the adjournment; and it may be questionable whether Row could be held liable on his undertaking* upon that ground. (Dunham v. Heyden, 7 John. 381.) The judgment must, however, be reversed upon other grounds.

Judgment reversed.
