¶1Opinion of the Court.
¶2When two or more are made defendants under the processes provided in the act against forcible entry and detainer, and all are found guilty, and one appeals, it will be considered by the Court that he appeals for the others.
¶3The defendants have leave to file their pleas.
¶4 Might not the Court have ruled, that the defendants, non appellantibus, should have entered bail for costs, &c. before they were admitted to plead ?
