Where there are several defendants, and assistant barrister dismisses as to some and decrees against the others, the defendants decreed against may appeal.

134. In all cases where it shall happen that there are two or more defendants, and that the recorder or assistant barrister shall decide that one or more of said defendants is or are liable to the plaintiff’s demand, and that the other or others of said defendants is not or are not liable to same, and shall accordingly direct a decree to issue against one or more of the said defendants, and at the same time a dismiss against another or others of them, it shall and may be lawful in all such cases for the defendant or defendants, against whom such decree has been made to appeal in the same manner and under the same restrictions and provisions as if there was but one defendant in the cause.
