delivered the opinion of the Court:
This was an action of debt, brought by appellees, in the Union circuit court, against appellant, on a recognizance to keep the peace. The declaration contained one count, and to it appellant filed a plea of former recovery on the same cause of action in the Union circuit court. The.plea avers that a seire facias was issued upon the recognizance against Record and appellant, and the seire facias is set out in the plea. It further avers that appellant filed a demurrer to the writ, and then sets out the judgment sustaining the demurrer, and appellees having failed to amend the writ, final judgment was rendered in favor of appellant, that he go hence without day. To this plea appellees filed a demurrer, which was sustained by the court, and appellant failing to plead over, a judgment was rendered for the amount of the recognizance. The record is brought to this court by appeal, and the rendition of the judgment on the demurrer is assigned for error.
It is urged that this plea fails to aver that appellant is the same person who was impleaded in that proceeding. We have examined the record, and find that it is averred that appellees “ impleaded the said defendant in a certain plea of seire facias, in the words and figures following,” and then sets out the writ at length. From the copy of the writ, set out in the plea, we see that appellant is named and impleaded with Philip Record. We see from the plea that it conforms, in this respect, to the strictest rules of certainty. It avers that appellant was impleaded, and avers in the fullest manner, how and with whom he was impleaded. It leaves no room for doubt.
An examination of the recognizance set out in the plea, shows incontestibly that it was the same instrument upon which this action is brought, and, taken altogether, there can *241be no question that the scire facias was on the same recognizance, and between the same parties, except Record, involved in this suit. Counsel for appellees has suggested no other ground for holding the plea had, and we have not looked into the scire facias, to see whether it presented a sufficient ground of recovery, or whether the demurrer was sustained for want of some material averment that is supplied by the declaration in this case, as neither party refers to it, but they argue the case as though the scire facias was in all respects good. The court below, erred in sustaining the demurrer to appellant’s plea, and the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.
