Supreme Court of United States.
*188 Mr. P. Phillips, in support of the motion; Mr. W.W. Boyce, contra.
The CHIEF JUSTICE:
It has often been held that in a writ of error to a joint judgment against several, all must join; and that the omission of one or more, without such proceeding, is an irregularity for which the writ will be dismissed.[] The motion in the present case must, therefore, be
GRANTED.
