The defendant in error, W. T. Hart, as plaintiff, sued the plaintiffs in error, Joe Sanders, Charley West, C. H. Blankenhsip, Will Ingram, and J. W. Weatherford, as defendants, in the county court of Garvin county. The cause was tried to a jury and a verdict rendered in favor of plaintiff against defendants on January 21, 1910. On January 24, 1910, a motion for a new trial was filed. The same was continued from time to time until July 1, 1910, when the same was overruled. On January 31, 1911, this proceeding was commenced in this court by filing a petition in error, with case-made attached. In due time defendant in error moved that this proceeding be dismissed on the ground that the judgment obtained was joint against all of said defendants, and that said defendant, J. W. Weatherford, had not been made a party hereto either as plaintiff or defendant in error.
On December 5, 1911, counsel for plaintiffs in error, in response to the motion to dismiss, stated:
"That the omission of the name of J. W. Weatherford as a party plaintiff in error was an accidental oversight in counsel for plaintiffs in error in writing the petition in error, and an unintentional omission. That said Weatherford is a party in interest, that he signed the supersedeas bond for this appeal and hereby enters his appearance as one of the plaintiffs in error in this cause and agrees to be bound by the decision of the court herein."
All necessary parties to a proceeding in error must be brought into the appellate proceedings, either by summons in error or general appearance, within the time allowed by statute for commencing such proceeding, and when not so done, this court has not jurisdiction of said action. John v. Paullin etal., 24 Okla. 636, 104 P. 365; Haynes et al. v. Smith,29 Okla. 703, 119 P. 246; American National Bank v. MergenthalerLinotype Co., 31 Okla. 533, 122 P. 507.
The appeal must be dismissed.
All the Justices concur. *Page 214
