Addix et al. v. Fahnestock et al.
Addix and others obtained a $300 judgment against Merryman. Unsatisfied with the judgment in his favor, Addix posted an unconditional bond for the appeal. Merryman made a motion to dismiss the appeal as it didn't meet statutory requirements. The law stipulated that appeals were only available to the losing party, necessitating a bond covering judgment and costs. The successful party must seek reversal through a writ of error. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal.
