Whereas the said John Chopin being appointed Guardian of the said infants by the Surrogate Court of the County of Waterloo, according to the statute in that behalf, is required to give security to perform the said trust. Now the condition of this obligation is such that if the above hereunder John Chopin, Guardian to the infant children of the said Late Antoine Chopin shall faithfully perform the said trust, and that the said Guardian or his Executors or administrators will when the said wards respectively become of the full age of twenty one years or whenever the said Guardianship shall be determined or sooner, if thereunto required by the Judge of the said Surrogate Court render to the said wards or their Executors or administrators a true and just account of all goods, monies, interests, rents, profits, or the sum or balance of money which may be in the hands of the guardian belonging to such ward or wards, deducting therefrom and retaining a reasonable sum for the expenses of the said Guardian then this obligation to be void or else to remain in full force and virtue.
