Musgrave (1900) 1 Ch. 37 : 81 L.T. 747 : 48 W.R. 298 : 69 L.J. Ch. 11 : 16 T.L.R. 13 has been applied in this country both by the Punjab and Allahabad Courts and obviously must apply in every country where! English criminal justice is ad ministered. The principle is that it is essential that the person giving bail should be interested in looking after and, if necessary,<br \/>\nexercising the legal powers he has to prevent the accused from isappearing. This is essential for the protection of the public, and anything that tends to prevent or hinder his so doing is illegal. Why is it not equally illegal for the bail to be indemnified by a third person, it being admittedly illegal to be indemnified by the prisoner? The reason of the illegality is the same in each case. There fore, the opposite party cannot escape by saying that he contracted with a, third party.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.
