Toney who was not sued) under the name of J. R. Toney & Co.\nThe defendant demurred to th\u00e9 declaration and assigned as cause for demurrer that James M. Toney, who was jointly liable with the defendant, was not joined as a party to the suit.\nThe demurrer was sustained and judgment rendered against the plaintiffs for the costs.\nThe case is brought before us upon writ of error.\nWhen two or more parties are jointly bound by contract, the action thereon may be brought against all, or any of them at the plaintiff\u2019s option. Gantt\u2019s Dig., sec. 4480.\nThe question raised by this demurrer has been so often decided in affirmance of the right of the payee in a note to sue one or more of the payors at his election, that it is a matter of surprise that the court below should have sustained the demurrer. Hambleton v. Burton, 6 Ark., 24; Walker v. Faulkner & Walker, 7 Ark., 542; Burgen v.
