SMITH, J., (on rehearing). A judgment has been entéred on the supersedeas bond which renders it unnecessary to remand the cause for the purpose stated in the original opinion. A bond superseding the entire judgment was executed by both Mr. Ledwidge and his wife together with their surety, and, as the judgment has been affirmed, it becomes immaterial to determine the portion of the indebtedness for which Mr. Ledwidge and his wife were respectively liable. Under the bond they became jointly liable for the entire judgment. It is conceded that such is the effect, prima facie, of the bond, but it is urged that no such intention existed in executing it, and that it was desired to supersede the judgment only as against Mrs. Ledwidge. The bond is unambiguous, and we can afford no relief. The decree rendering judgment on the bond is therefore affirmed, and the motion for rehearing is overruled.
