American Surety Company New York v. R. Nelson Smith

STRUM, J. -- The first of these cases is here upon writ of error to a judgment of the circuit court awarding to plaintiff below, defendant in error here, a recovery in an action upon an indemnity bond. The second is here upon certiorari to the Circuit Court for Duval County to review an order dismissing an appeal to that court from a judgment of the Civil Court of Record of Duval County, which judgment awarded a recovery to the plaintiff in the latter court, respondent here upon the same bond. As both cases present the same substantive question, they will be considered together.
