4 D.C. 462

Ex parte Kennedy

Decided March 15, 1834

The return upon the habeas corpora, was, that the prisoners were held upon writs of ca. sa. which stated the judgment to be against the prisoners and one Hugh Tierney, and required the officer to take the two prisoners only, without suggesting the death of Hugh Tierney.

Decided 1834-03-15

The Court(Thruston, J., absent,)

¶1discharged the prisoners, being of opinion that the execution against two only, upon a judgment against three, without a suggestion of the death of one, was void on its face. See Tidd, 1029; Bac. Ab. Exon. G. 1; 2 Evans’s Harris. 115. 303.
