   OPINION of the Court, by

Judge Cl auk,

— Craig having sued out two executions r.gauist Zachariah Ross, on judgments obtained against him, Cox became his security in bonds for the delivery of property on the day of salt, which were forfeited by a failure on the part of Ross to deliver the property. Executions having issued on these bonds, a writ of error coram nobis with supersedeas was obtained by Ross, for alleged error in die executo >is, ⅝,! > h was dismissed bv the Circuit court; to ret > ry w una writ of error was sued out from the court oí appeals. During its pendency an agreement took plore between Craig and Ross, oil ■the litli of Match 1 So 1, by which Moss on his part agreed to dismiss the writ of error, and pay the sum of ■sixty pou-ids immediately ; and Craig on his part agreed to c -.ve time for the payment of the balance by instalments — one half the 15th of October nett after the date of the agreement, and the balance the 15th of August loll owing. To this agreement Cox was no party. Ross having failed to make payment of the residue, agreeably to his contract, executions were issued against Cox, as security on the forthcoming bonds ; who, upon a bill filed for that purpose, obtained an injunction, which ©n the final hearing was decreed perpe tual : front which decree Craig arpea!- d <o this court.
