REID and REID against CRAWFORD’S Administrators.
    ON CERTIORARI.
    Summons well served on one of joint debtors. Verdict and judgment cure a want of proving administration, not before required.
    It was objected to the proceedings below, that judgment was rendered against both defendants: whereas, the summons was served on one of them only; and that there was no allegation in the state off demand that the defendants were partners.
    
      But the Court said that a joint account against both defendants was stated, and that the statute cured the want of appearance of the other defendant.
    It was also objected that it was not proved at the trial below that the plaintiff below was administrator of the intestate.
   By the Court.

The fact was not put in issue; the plaintiff commenced the suit and filed his account as administrator. This -was not objected to or denied. It is too late, after verdict and judgment, to take this objection.

It was then contended that it was not set forth in the state of demand that the plaintiff below was administrator.

By the Court.

The copy of account filed is headed by the name and title of the action wherein the plaintiff is named administrator of the intestate.

Judgment affirmed.
