In the meanwhile, a proceeding was instituted in the court on the bail bond which had been forfeited, and a judgment rendered against your petitioner at the Nov. term 1864 for the amount of the bond $1500 & costs, and an execution is now in the hands of the Sheriff of Madison County against your petitioner for that judgment -- Woodward was brought back before the judgment --
