The Court

decided that the facts clearly showed an escape, that the bond was good by the common law, although not conformed to the statute, and that it was subject to the * equitable powers of the Court. The penalty being [ * 202 ] declared forfeited, the defendants prayed for a hearing in equity, and judgment was finally entered for the amount of the judgment on which the execution had issued, with interest from the date of the judgment and costs.
