"BAIL--RIGHT OF SURETY TO PURSUE PRINCIPAL WHO HAS FLED", Originally Published by Allied Fidelity Corporation

Introductory

Surety upon a bail bond or other undertaking have the right to surrender their principal at any time, and to this end may pursue and seize him wherever they may find him, even though that be in another state.  While the law is well settled and hardly open to argument on this point there has been at times a failure to understand the reason for the rule, and this strictly private right has been confused with the governmental process of extradition.  The two remedies are distinct and independent and are only to be confused through lack of understanding of the nature and origin of the relationship of bail and principal.
