INDEX.

APPEAL.

1. At a special term of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia a
judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff against a sole defend-
ant. The defendant appealed to the general term and gave sureties.
The general term affirmed the judgment below, and entered judgment
against the defendant and against the sureties. The defendant sued
out a writ of error to this judgment without joining the sureties. The
defendant in error moved to dismiss the writ for the non-joinder of
the sureties, and the writ was accordingly dismissed. The counsel for
the plaintiff in error then moved to rescind the judgment of dismissal,
and to restore the case to the docket. Briefs being filed on both sides;
Held, that the motion should be granted, and the case should be re-
stored to the docket. Inland and Seaboard Coasting Co. v. Tolson, 572.
2. A postmaster and the sureties on his official bond being sued jointly for

a breach of the bond, he and a part of the sureties appeared and de-
fended; the suit was abated as to one of the sureties who had died;
and the other sureties made default, and judgment of default was
entered against them. On the trial a verdict was returned for the
plaintiff, whereupon judgment was entered against the principal and
all the sureties for the amount of the verdict. The sureties who had
appeared sued out a writ of error to this judgment without joining the
principal or the sureties who had made default. The plaintiff in error
moved to amend the writ of error by adding the omitted parties as
plaintiffs in error, or for a severance of those parties; Held, that the
motion must be denied. Mason v. United States, 581.
