Baldwin, J. concurring.

The motion to dismiss the appeal is made on two .grounds: the alleged insufficiency of the justification of the sureties, and the omission to designate in the undertaking their places of residence and occupation.

The undertaking is not merely to render the appeal effectual, but to stay the execution of the judgment, and were the justification insufficient for the latter purpose, it might be ample for the first. It is so in this case, and this fact disposes of the motion. We express no opinion, *375 whether or not the examination of the sureties discloses the possession of sufficient property—exempt from execution—to make the undertaking operate as a stay. If in fact it do not, the remedy of the respondent is by motion in the Court below for leave to proceed on the judgment, notwithstanding the undertaking—and not by motion in this Court to dismiss the appeal.

It is only when a stay of execution upon a judgment directing the payment of money is sought, that the statute provides that the undertaking shall state the places of residence and occupation of the sureties. (Pr. Act, sec. 349.) An undertaking without such statement will render the appeal effectual, and we are not called upon to decide upon the operation of the undertaking as a stay.

Motion denied.

At the July term, 1860, the opinion of the Court was delivered by Field, C. J.—Cope, J. concurring.

The statement embodied in the record does not set forth the grounds upon which the appellant relies on the appeal, and in this respect fails to comply with the requirements of the statute and the decision of this Court in Barrett v. Tewksbury, (ante). The statement, it is true, was prepared and settled previous to the decision in that case, and this fact would be a sufficient answer to the objection taken, if the appellant had availed himself of the privilege extended by the decision to annex to his statement the grounds of his appeal nunc fro tunc. This he has not done, and we cannot therefore look over the mass of testimony sent up with the record, to ascertain if any errors may possibly have intervened upon the trial.

Upon the judgment roll alone no error appears, and the judgment must therefore be affirmed.

Ordered accordingly.
