Mr. Chief Justice MARSHALL stated, that the Williams.
writ of error must be dismissed, it having issued
irregularly. The judgment in the Circuit Court
of Ohio was a joint judgment, upon a joint ac'-
tion for money lent, against three defendants;
and the writ of error was sued out by one of the
defendants, in his own name only, without joining

writ of error ought to have been in the name of
the three; and if the others should refuse to join
in it, that it would deserve consideration whether
the present plaintiff might not have summons
and severance.
Writ of error dismissed.
