    Eldred et al., Adm’rs, v. The First National Bank of Valparaiso.
    No. 7444.
    Joint Promisors. — Death of One — Common-Law Rule. — Release.—The common-law rule, that the death of one of two or more joint promisors or obligors discharged at law his .estate from all liability, and the survivor or survivors alone could be sued, has never been a part of the law of this State.
    From the Porter Circuit Court.
    
      T. J. Merrifield, for appellants.
   Woods, J.

Since this appeal was taken, the single question presented and argued has been decided, adversely to the appellants, in the cases of McCoy v. Payne, 68 Ind. 327, and Hudelson v. Armstrong, 70 Ind. 99.

By the latter case, it is shown that the common-law rule, “ whereby, if one of two or more joint promisors or obligors should die, his representatives were at law discharged, and the survivor or survivors alone could be sued,” has never been a part of the law of this State.

The judgment of the circuit courtis affirmed, with costs.
