• 16 Del. 317

Syllabus

<p>Trespass. Parties. Judgment.—In trespass all trespassers are equally liable and may be sued jointly or severally or a part may be sued. Only one satisfaction may be had, but the recovery of judgment merely does not discharge those not sued.</p> <p>Same.—Neither the mere recovery of judgment against one co-trespasser nor the recovery of judgment and issuing of execution thereon unless it appears that payment or satisfaction has actually been made, is a bar to an action against another co-trespasser.</p>
