        "text": "By the Court,\nRingo, C. J.\nEvery principle of law involved by the proceedings and adjudication of the court below in this case, has been expressly ruled by this court against the plaintiff in error in cases heretofore decided.\nThe plea in abatement is clearly within the principles expressly adjudged by this Court in the case of Tucker et al. vs. The Real Estate Bank, 4 Ark. Rep. 431; and the plea of Greer within that held in the case of Mahony et al. vs. The Bank of the State, 4 Ark. Rep. 620. The judgment given against the plaintiff in error, upon the demurrer to his plea being sustained, for all of her costs in the suit then expended, was, in our opinion, irregular and improper, but cannot, upon \u00e9he present writ of error, be revised, because it is a separate judgment against him, which is not properly before this Court for adjudication on the present writ of error, which is sued out jointly by himself and Greer, and embraces nothing but the final judgment, and such proceedings in the cause anterior thereto as affect its validity, which cannot possibly be the case in any view of the subject in respect to this judgment for costs. The final judgment is no way dependant upon it, whether it be right or wrong, legal or illegal; and therefore it is not a matter which can be legally assigned as error in this case.\nThe defendant in error having remitted in this Court the excess of damages and interest adjudged to her, as she might well do according to the principles asserted and the rule established in the case of Fulton, adm. of Holt, vs. Hunt, 3 Ark. Rep. 280, there is no error in the proceedings of the Circuit Court.\nJudgment, as amended, affirmed.",

    "head_matter": "Hay vs. The Bank of the State.\nThe State Bank is a corporation in law, and may legally sne in the counties where ft\u00bb branches are situate, and issue writs to any other counties.\nIn an action against two defendants, who sever in pleading, it is irregular and improper, upon demurrer to the plea of one sastained, to adjudge against him all costs in th\u00ae suit then expended.\nBut such error cannot be regarded, upon a writ of error prosecuted By both defendants jointly. *\nThis was an action of debt, determined in the Independence Circuit Court, in June, 1842, before the Hon. Thomas Johnson, one of the circuit judges. The Bank of the State sued Bay, Greer, and Holson on a bond, and process issued to Crittenden, where it was served on Hay and Greer, who severed in their pleadings. Hay ultimately pleaded in abatement the issuance of but one writ, to Crittenden; and Greer pleaded nil del corporation. Demurrer to Hay\u2019s plea sustained, and judgment respondeat ouster, and that plaintiff recover against him all her costs herein expended, up to the present time.\u201d Demurrer to Greer\u2019s plea sustained, and judgment respondeat ouster. Discontinuance as to Holson; and Hay and Greer saying nothing farther, final judgment against them; and judgment for debt and damages with interest from judgment, at 10 per cent. Error brought by Hay and Greer jointly. Greer dying, the suit proceeded in the name of Hay alone. The damages in the judgment being too large by \u20215, that sum was remitted.\nThe case was argued here by Wm. Byers, for plaintiff in error, and Hempstead .& Johnson, contra."
