Exception to sureties

Official statutory text

The plaintiff may, within twenty-four (24) hours from the time

the undertaking referred to in Section 1577 of this title is given

by the defendant, give notice as hereinafter required that he

excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. In the event plaintiff

excepts to the sufficiency of the defendant's sureties, said

plaintiff will file written exceptions and notice in the district

court in the case involved, and the court shall set a day for

hearing said exceptions, provided, however, after notice of

plaintiff's exceptions have been given to the defendant, he shall

have five (5) days within which to except to the sufficiency of

plaintiff's sureties on the undertaking required of the plaintiff by

Section 1573 above, and if a hearing is held on the exception by

either party, the bonds of both shall be subject to scrutiny and a

decision made upon each by the district court at the same hearing.

If plaintiff or defendant fails to except, he shall be deemed to

have waived all objections to the sufficiency of the sureties

involved. If either party excepts, the sureties must justify, upon

notice, as bail in criminal cases.
