SEC. 509. Excepting party not entitled to reversal as to another. — In all actions, civil and criminal, a judgment excepted to may be affirmed as to some of the excepting parties, and reversed as to others; and one of several excepting parties shall not be entitled to a judgment of reversal because of an error in the judgment against another, not affecting his rights in the case; and when a judgment shall be affirmed as to some of the excepting parties and reversed as to others, the case shall thereafter be proceeded with, so far as necessary, as if separate actions had been begun and prosecuted; and execution of the judgment of affirmance may be had accordingly, and costs may be adjudged in such cases, as the Supreme Court shall deem proper.
