Wood v. Hummel
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Wood v. Hummel, 4 Watts 50 (Pa. 1835)
Wood v. Hummel
Opinion of the Court
—Perhaps an unreasonable effect has been given to trifling words of severance in cases like the present, particularly in Geddes v; Hawke and Moneagh''v. Butler, where words binding heirs, executors and administrators, and “each” of them, were held to work a severance, though they are such as are used when there is but one obligor. It is however too late to recede, particularly in a case like the present, which is the exact counterpart of Besore v. Potter, 12 Serg. & Rawle 154. On the authority of that case we hold the bond before us to be joint and several.
Judgment affirmed.
