In Re Meldrum State v. Meldrum, 51 N.W.2d 881 (Iowa 1952). “Appellant contends that the suspension order is based upon the fact that he was acting as a bondsman; that, while under sections 621.7 and 682.5, Code, 1950, attorneys are declared to be ineligible as sureties upon official bonds, the statutes do not make such acts illegal.”
