Gray, Roland Landers, Rutledge Smith, Joseph Walker, Bailey Brooks, Nicholas Mosicr, Elisha Arnold and Hartwell Walker. ' All the defendants, except Elisha Arnold and Hartwell Walker, appeared and pleaded jointly the general issue., and also the statute of limitations. .\nThe plaintiff filed three replications to the latter plea, to each of which a demurrer was sustained, and judgment was; rendered thereon against him. The plaintiff then took an interlocutory judgment, by default, against Elisha Arnold and Hartwell Walker, with an order for an inquiry of damages at the next term, and at the same term (November term, 1867) appealed to this court.\nThe appeal was prematurely taken; there was no final judgment to appeal from. Sec. 80, Ch. 133, Gould\u2019s Digest, says: \u201c Where there are several defendants in a suit, and some of them appear and plead, and others make default, the cause may proceed against the others, but'only one final judgment shall be given in the action.\u201d See Bailey vs. Ralph, 4 Ark., 591; Bevins vs. McElroy, 11 Id., 23. As no appeal will lie to this court except from a final judgment or decree, the appeal must be dismissed.",
