an action upon such undertaking. The practice to be pursued in the latter case was prescribed by 2 R. S. 380, SS 21, 22; 2 R. S. (Edm. ed.) 395. See Cozine v. Walter, 55 N. Y. (10 Sick.) 304; see, also, Brady v. Brundage, 59 N. Y. (14 Sick.) 310; Hissong v. Hart, 7 J. & Sp. 411.

2. A certified copy of the undertaking of the bail must be delivered to the sheriff, who must detain the defendant in his custody thereupon, as upon the original mandate, and must, by a certificate in writing, acknowledge the surrender. Upon the application of the bail, made upon notice to the plaintiff's attorney, and upon production of the sheriff's certificate and a copy of the undertaking, a judge of the court, or the county judge of the county where the action is triable, may make an order, directing that the bail be exonerated. On filing the order and the papers used on the application therefor, the bail are exonerated accordingly.

Code Pro., § 188, amended; 1 Wait's Pr. 670; Wait's Code, 358.

§ 593. [Amended, 1877.] For the purpose of surrendering the defendant, the bail, at any place or at any time before they are finally charged, may themselves arrest him, or, by a written authority, indorsed on a certified copy of the undertaking, may empower another person to do so, and one or more of the bail may thus arrest and surrender the defendant, although the others do not join with him or them, for that purpose.

Code Pro., § 189, amended. See 1 Wait's Pr. 671; Wait's Code, 359.

§ 594. Where the defendant surrenders himself in exoneration of his bail, he must present himself to the sheriff, and require the ball there- sheriff, in writing, to take him into custody, in exoneration of his bail.

Relief of bail where

criminal charge.

§ 599.* In an action against bail, it is a defence, that an execution, against the property, or against the person, of the defendant in the original action, was not issued, as prescribed in section five hundred and ninety-seven of this act; or that it was not issued in sufficient time to enable the sheriff to enforce it; or that a direction was given, or other fraudulent or collusive means were used, by the plaintiff or his attorney, to prevent the service thereof.

2 R. S. 697, § 33. See 1 Wait's Pr. 679.

§ 600. If the defendant in the original action, after his disprincipal charge upon bail, is imprisoned, either within or without the State, upon a criminal charge, or a conviction of a criminal offence, the court, in which an action against the bail is pending, may, before the expiration of the time to answer, and upon notice to the adverse party, make such an order for the relief of the bail, as justice requires..

Bail ex

onerated

From Laws of 1845, ch. 231 (4 Edm. St. 554), § 4, and intended as a substitute for Code Pro., § 191.

§ 601.* Except in an action to recover a chattel, the bail must by death, be exonerated where either of the following events occurs, before the expiration of the time to answer in an action against them: 1. The death of the original defendant.

etc.

2. His legal discharge from the obligation to render himself amenable to the process, direction, or proceedings, with respect to which the undertaking of the bail was made.

3. His surrender to the sheriff of the county where he was arrested, as prescribed in this article.

Where either event occurs, after the commencement of the action against the bail, the court may, in its discretion, impose the payment of the plaintiff's costs and expenses, incurred after the return of the execution against the person, as a condition of allowing the exoneration. And the court may, by an order, made upon notice to the adverse party, grant such further time as it deems just, after answer, for the surrender of the original defendant. In that case, his surrender, within the time so granted, has the same effect, as if it had been made before answer.
