McDonald v. Smith Adm'r
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Appeal from Jackson Gireuit Court. Hon. L. L. Mack Circuit Judge. The judgment on the plea in abatement of Logan and Bell should have quashed the entire suit, and discharged McDonald as well as the other defendants. Edmondson vs. Carnal, 11 Ark., 284; 9 Ark., 159. If not, the summons clause in the attachment was good, (Hatheway vs. Jones, 20 Ark., 111.) And a discontinuance as to Bell and Logan was a discontinuance also as to McDonald.
