HAMPTON
v.
ROUSE.

Supreme Court of United States.

*188 Mr. P. Phillips, in support of the motion; Mr. W.W. Boyce, contra.

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.
