The High Court held that while the court may examine means and surrounding circumstances when estreating a promised surety, an irregular and inadequate approval procedure by the magistrate and the surety's limited means and conduct justified a reduced but non‑nil forfeiture; accordingly a partial estreatment of $250,000 was appropriate with a payment schedule.
