SECTION 2. There shall be at least two sureties on each of such bonds, whose qualification and sufficiency shall be approved by the officer or officers whose duty it is to approve such bond, (except that the sufficiency of the bonds of the members of the several Board of Supervisors and the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu shall be approved by a Judge of the Circuit Court having jurisdiction over or within the County or City and County, as the case may be,) and no bond shall be approved unless each of the sureties thereon is a resident freeholder within the Territory, and unless all the sureties thereon (in the aggregate) are worth in real property situate in the Territory the amount of such bond over and above all sums for which such sureties are liable.
