    Gen. No. 21,968.
    (Not to he reported in full.)
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Appeal and error, § 1165
      
      —what remains for review after striking MU of exceptions from, record. Where a bill of exceptions is stricken from the record there remains for consideration only such points as the common-law record presents for review.
    2. Appearance, § 8
      
      —when party is not properly before court. Where one of two joint defendants was not served nor his appearance entered except as agent for his codefendant, held that such defendant was not properly before the court, and that no valid judgment could be entered against him, notwithstanding, an order denying a motion to file an additional plea recited that the motion was made by “defendants,” as the word “defendants” included only those defendants who had been served or entered appearance.
    3. Judgment, § 199
      
      —when void as to all joint defendants. Where defendants are sued jointly, a judgment which is void as to one is void as to all.
