7. Action against several parties
The holder of a bill of exchange or promissory note may, if he thinks fit,
issue one writ of summons according to this Act, against all or any number
of the parties to such bill or note, and such writ of summons shall be the
commencement of an action against the parties named in it, and all subsequent proceedings against those parties shall be in like manner, so far as
may be, as if separate writs of summons had been issued.
