Hulme v. Janes

Opinion of the Court

Hemphill, Ch. J.

The judgment is void as against Burtridge, and as it is indivisible in its nature it is necessarily void as against the other defendants.

The suit should have been discontinued, under the provisions of article 704 of the Digest, and judgment against the others would have been valid. Judgment reversed and cause remanded for further proceedings.

Judgment reversed.
