Thomas Johnson, one of the Circuit Judges. The Bank sued on a bond, stated as payable to \u201c the Bank of the State of Arkansas, or order.\u201d On oyer craved by Murphree, one of the defendants, a bond was filed, payable to \u201c the Branch of the Bank of the State of Arkansas at Batesville.\u201d He demurred for the variance, and his denyirrer was sustained. No leave was asked to amend tfie declaration, nor was it amended; and judgment was, at the next term, rendered against Murphree, by nil dibit, and against the other defendants, by default.\nThe case was argued by W. Byers, for the plaintiffs in error, and Hempstead & Johnson, contra."
