delivered the opinion of the court.
Appellant instituted this suit in the court below by attachment with Peter Fairley and T. J. 0 ’Fer'rall, as sureties on his attachment 'bond. The cause caine' on for
The groxxnd of this motion is that the sureties on the attachment bond, and against whom judgment was rendered in the court below, are necessary parties to this appeal, and therefore cannot act as sureties on the appeal bond. While the authorities seem not to be altogether harmonious on this subject, the rule supported by the-greater weight thereof seems to be as stated in 1 Enc. Plead. & Prac. 1004, that: ’
“Where a judgment is rendered on a bond against a principal and his sureties thereoix, the sureties become parties to the judgment, and on appeal therefrom they cannot again -act as sureties on the appeal bond. It is otherwise where the judgment is rendered only agaixxst the principal.”
See, also, 2 Cyc. 831.
The judgment appealed from is a joint judgment against appellant and the sureties on his appeal bond, and, by executing this bond these parties have simply obtained a supersedeas of the judgment against them, so-that, in truth axid in fact, all of them are principals and the bond contaixxs no real sureties. It is true that the sureties have not appealed from this judgment, neither are-they necessary parties thereto; but nevertheless thesupersedeas thereby obtained inures as much to their benefit as it does to that of appellant.
The motion will be sustained, and the cause will be dismissed, unless appellant shall execute a proper appeal bond within thirty days.
