80 U.S. 187; 20 L. Ed. 593; 13 Wall. 187; 1871 U.S. LEXIS 1328 (United States Reports)

Hampton v. Rouse

Opinion

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.
