Head Matter:
Whlte v. Tally.
[April, 1804.]
Joint Bond — Separate Judgments — Same Term. — It is not erroneous to take separate judgments, during the same term, upon a joint bond.
The declaration, in this case, was upon a joint bond; but there were separate judgments, arising from the different times of serving the writ upon the respective defendants.
Bennet Taylor for the appellee
Cited Brown v. Belches, 1 Wash. 9, in support of the judgment.
Joint Bond — Separate Judgments — Same Term.— In Richardson v. Jones, 12 Gratt. 59, the principal case is cited to the point that, it is not error to take separate judgments, during the same term, upon a joint bond. See monographic note on “Bonds” appended to Ward v. Churn, 18 Gratt. 801.

Opinion:
TUCKER, Judge.
Regularly speaking, there was a mistrial, but it being in the same term, and the pleas the same, it was cured by the statute of jeofail. The declaration was against the.defendants jointly, and not severally, which therefore seemed to require a joint judgment; but, for the other reason, I am of opinion, that the judgment should be affirmed.
PER CUR. Affirm the judgment.
