§ 59. Duty of court of appeals to direct action on forfeiture of bond

given by clerk of court. If the bond given by the clerk of the court of

appeals, before entering upon his duties, as prescribed by law, is

forfeited by a breach of its condition, the court of appeals must, by

order, direct an action to be brought thereon. The money recovered must

be applied, under the direction of the court of appeals, to indemnify

the persons aggrieved by the breach, in proportion to their respective

losses, and to make good any other loss, occasioned by the breach.
