Lewis vs. Armstrong, administrator, et al.
    
    [This case was argued at the last term, and the decision reserved.]
    i. Since the adoption of the Code, where two defendants were sued as joint debtors, and judgment was rendered against them, the entering of an appea! by one of them suspended the entire case until the final disposition of the appeal, and execution could not be issued against the defendant who did not appeal. Cobb’s Dig., 500.
    2. The final judgment on such an appeal binds all alike; therefore where, upon an appeal entered by one defendant, the plaintiff’s case was dismissed, such dismissal affected all alike, and execution could not be issued against the defendant who did not appeal.
    3. No laches has been made to appear on the part of the creditor in prosecuting his remedy against the principal debtors, so as to release the endorser.
    December 30, 1882.
   CRAWFORD, Justice.
