The bond given by the Commissioners in their own recog-

Criminal Court, reads thus :

"Knowall men by these presents, that I, James Young,
am held and firmly bound unto the State of Maryland in the
sum of five thousand dollars, to be paid to the said State
or to its certain attorney, to which payment, well and truly
to be made and done, I bind myself, my heirs, executors and
administrators firmly by these presents. Sealed with my
seal, dated the 13th day of November, 1866.

" The condition of the above obligation is such, that if the
said James Young shall well and truly appear before the
Criminal Court of Baltimore city, to answer the charge of
conspiracy therein depending against him, shall be void and
of non-effect.

[Seal.] JAMES YOUNG.

"Signed, sealed and delivered in presence of James
Bartol."

The bond given by Mr. Valiant is in the precise words
of the above. Both bonds have been filed in the office of the
Criminal Court.
