ANSWERS,

COMMON LAW.

person

1. An infant cannot prosecute an action either in or by attorney. But he may sue either by prochein amy, or by guardian. The process is to be sued out in the name of the infant, after which, and before declaration he must apply to a judge at chambers, to appoint a prochein amy, or guardian to prosecute the suit for him.—2 Chit. Arch. 7th ed. p. 889.

2. If one of two joint obligors in a bond dies, even if he leave executors with assets and real estates which have descended to his heir, the obligee must, at law, sue the surviving obligor alone, for if he join the executor or heir of the deceased obligor it will be a misjoinder. Nor if the bond be joint only, can the executor be sued alone at law-though in equity he would be liable. If the bond had been joint and several, the executor might have been sued, even at law, in a separate action.-Lampton v. Collingwood, 4 Modern Rep. 315; 2 Burr. 1190, 1196; 1 Chitty's Plead. ch. 1, s. 2; 2 Will. Saund. 51 note (4); 5 East 261; Bacon's Abr. tit Obligation"; 3 Ves. Jun. 399. But if the lands had been bound, as by a recognizance, not only the survivors would have been chargable, but also the heir and terre-tenant of the deceased.-2 Will. Saund. 51 note (4); Tidd's Pract. 1075, 5th ed.
