Per curiam.
Stating that the plaintiffs named, and comPan7 complain, is acknowledging that other persons ought to sue. Did the defendants ever acknowledge there were no others ; this mode of declaring ought not to be suffered. Why did you not say Thomas Bentley, Allen Potter, and John P. Becker, trading under the stile and firm of T. B« A. P. J. P. B. and Company ? The demurrer is well taken, and the defendants entitled to judgment. But the plaintiffs may amend on payment of costs.
