RITTENHOUSE, C.

The plaintiff, John X. Davis, guardian of James Davis, John Henry Davis, and Benjamin Davis, minors, obtained judgment in the sum of $1.828, with interest at 8 per cent, per annum from February 9, 1915, and costs of suit, against T. W. Brown, defendant, in the district court of Grady county, Okla. This proceeding in error was commenced to review such judgment. A supersedeas bond trass executed, approved, and filed by T. W„ Brown, as principal, 'and R. H. Sutherland and A. G. Click, as sureties, and execution on such judgment stayed. The cause was dismissed by this court April 26, 1916, for failure to prosecute, and a motion has been made-herein for judgment against the sureties o» the supersedeas bond.
