him only so much of this as will make good to C D all the loss he has sustained by E F's misconduct. As the obligee can recover from the obligor only actual compensation for what he loses, it is usual, in practice, to make the penal sum in the bond large enough to cover all the loss that can happen.

There need be no "consideration," alleged or asserted in the bond, or proved, because, in the language of the law, the seal is (or implies) a consideration.

The following forms are those of bonds frequently given; and it will be easy to frame from some one of them any bond that is wanted for other purposes.
