Head Matter:
SWORD ET AL. vs. CIRCUIT JUDGE (Lenawee),
71 M., 284.

Opinion:
To dismiss attachment proceedings, on the ground that the affidavit, upon which the writ is based, is insufficient.
Denied July 11, 1888.
Held, that the allegation that two defendants, naming them, are justly indebted to the plaintiff, imports a joint indebtedness, and that an averment that such debt is due from one of said defendants, necessarily avers that it is due from both.
