J. Mays, sureties. The bond proved on this trial was one in which Louis Fitzgerald was principal, and T. M. Mirick and W. J. Mays sureties. A variance was urged in the court below, and is insisted upon on this appeal. The names ,of the parties to the appearance bond is an essential part of the judgment nisi, and upon an effort to make the judgment final a variance such as that described was a matter so material as to render the bond inadmissible.
