— Appellees, as a firm of attorneys, filed a bill with the commissioners of Benton county for $50.00 for legal services rendered by them to a superintendent of a ditch constructed under an act approved March 7th, 1891, sections 5690-5717, Burns’ R. S. 1894.
The commissioners refused to allow the bill and appellees appealed to the circuit court. In the circuit court appellees amended their complaint and made George Smith, auditor of said county, a party defendant. The court sustained the demurrer of Smith to the complaint. The cause was put at issue as to the *521board of commissioners, a trial had’ and judgment rendered in favor of appellees against the board of commissioners for the face of their claim. The judgment directed that it should be paid out of the ditch fund. From this judgment the appellants have appealed.
The assignment of errors, after setting out the title of the cause as above is as follows: “The appellants say there is manifest error in the judgment and proceedings in this cause, in this, namely: (1) The court erred in overruling the separate demurrer of the board of commissioners to the complaint. (2) The court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial. (3) The court erred in overruling the motion in arrest of judgment. (4) The complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against said appellants, or either of them. For which errors the appellants pray that the judgment be in all things reversed. George H. Gray and Dawson Smith, attorneys for appelants.”
Counsel for appellees contend that the assignment is joint, and that not being good as to appellant Smith, it is unavailing.
It has been settled by numerous decisions of the Supreme Court of this State that a joint assignment of errors must be good as to all of the appellants or it will be good as to none. Earhart v. Farmers’ Creamery, 148 Ind. 79; Sibert v. Copeland, 146 Ind. 387; Armstrong v. Dunn, 143 Ind. 433; Carr v. Carr, 137 Ind. 232; King v. Easton, 135 Ind. 353; Hubbard v. Bell, 4 Ind. App. 180.
The motion for a new trial and in arrest of judgment were made by the board alone. The demurrer of Smith having been sustained, and judgment rendered against the board of commissioners alone, Smith was not harmed by the action of the court. *522There is no error of which he could complain or from which he could appeal. The assignment being joint, and not being good as to one of the appellants, must fail as to all. Judgment affirmed.
