§ 8-11. Action on Probate Bond; Endorsement of Writ

The writ in any action brought upon a probate bond, or bond taken to a judge of probate and such judge's successors in office, shall be dismissed unless, before its issue, some responsible inhabitant of the state signs a written endorsement upon it, agreeing to be responsible for the costs of suit. If the endorser dies or removes from this state, a new endorser on such writ shall be substituted; and the court before which the suit is pending may at any time order the substitution of a new endorser to be approved by it. For any failure to comply with such an order the plaintiff may be nonsuited. (See General Statutes § 52-190 and annotations.)
