Andrews v. Bosworth
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Andrews v. Bosworth, 3 Mass. 223 (Mass. 1807)
Andrews v. Bosworth
Opinion of the Court
Sufficient cause to quash this writ appears on the face of the record certified to us ; and in such case the proper course is by motion
Writ of error quashed.
[When judgment is given against several, any of them may bring a writ of error, but it must be in the names of all, for otherwise this inconvenience would ensue, that every defendant might bring a writ of error, and, by that means, delay the plaintiff from having the benefit of his judgment, though it should be affirmed once or oftener.—Arcb. Prac Com. Pl. 1 vol. p. 208, 209.—Ed.]
