OPINION
On March 17, 1891, Charles L. Botsford and Samuel D. D. Smith recovered a judgment against the plaintiffs in error for $ 5,426.66, and also an order for the sale of certain attached property. On February 25, 1892, a petition in error was filed in the supreme court, and a summons in error was issued on the same day, directed to the sheriff of Atchison county, for service on the defendants in error. Service was made upon Smith in due time, but no service was obtained upon Botsford until the early part of August, 1892, which was nearly 17 months after the rendition of the judgment in the district court. A motion has been made to dismiss the proceeding in error for the reason that Botsford and Smith had recovered a joint judgment based upon the violation of a contract jointly made by Botsford and Smith with the paving company and that no service has been obtained upon Botsford nor any appearance entered in his behalf until the time for commencing proceedings in error and obtaining a summons had expired. The contract and the judgment recovered thereon are such that Botsford and Smith are both necessary parties to a review.
The absence of a party to a joint judgment who will necessarily be affected by a modification or reversal defeats the jurisdiction of the court, and there can be no review of any part of the judgment.

The application of this provision to proceedings in error has not been determined by this court. Possibly the question was in some of the earlier Kansas cases cited herein, but it was not brought to the attention of the court, and has never before received consideration. It was determined in Thompson v Manufacturing Co., supra, that the...
