27-87-303. Liability of sureties.
In all cases of recoveries against ferrykeepers for violations of this chapter, if, after judgment, execution shall be returned that there are no goods and chattels of the ferrykeeper whereupon to levy and make the money demanded in the execution, the justice shall issue a scire facias against the sureties of the ferrykeeper. If the securities do not show sufficient reason to the contrary, the justices shall enter judgment against the securities for the amount of debt as may be unsatisfied and issue execution therefor as in other cases.
