Hampton v. Rouse

80 U.S. 187, 20 L. Ed. 593, 13 Wall. 187, 1871 U.S. LEXIS 1328

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.
