        "text": "Peaksost, J.\nThis was debt on a note, executed by Kornegay, Davis and Jarman. The defendants did not resist the plaintiff\u2019s recovery; but Jarman \u201cpleaded\u201d that he was the surety of Kornegay and Davis. Davis \u201c pleaded\u201d that he and Jarman, were sureties of Kor-negay.\nThe jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and found that Jarman was a co-surety with Davis. From the judgment rendered on this finding, Jarman was allowed to appeal, the other defendants not objecting.\nThis proceeding is under thejsec . 131, 132, ch. 31, of the Revised Statutes. The \u201cpleas,\u201d as they are called, do not contest the plaintiff\u2019s right to recover, but merely raise a family dispute between the defendants, in which the plaintiff has no concern. It is very questionable whether the right of appeal is given in such cases, as an appeal must necessarily delay the plaintiff\u2019s admitted right of recovery. But in this case, the appeal is only taken by the defendant Jarman, and it is settled that one of two defendants cannot appeal. In such cases it is hardly to be expected that the other defendant will join in the appeal, as he has no reason to complain of the result.\nPer Curiam. Appeal dismissed.",

KORNEGAY & AL.\nWhere three are sued in debt, and one of the defendants, not contesting the plaintiff\u2019s right to recover, pleads that he isa co-surety of one of the other defendants, and a verdict is found against him, it is very doubtful whether he can appeal at all; but certainly he cannot appeal alone.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Law of Lenoir County, at the Fall Term 1850, his Honor Judge Ellis presiding.\nW. B. Wright and J. B. Bryan, for the plaintiff.\nNo counsel for the defendant."
