  SEVERANCE, pleading. When an action is brought in the name of several 
  plaintiffs, in which the plaintiffs must of necessity join, and one or more 
  of the persons so named do not appear, or make default after appearance, the 
  other may have judgment of severance, or, as it is technically called, 
  judgment ad sequendum solum. 
       2. But in personal actions, with the exception of those by executors, 
  and of detinue for charters, there can be no summons and severance. Co. Lit. 
  139. 
       3. After severance, the party severed can never be mentioned in the 
  suit, nor derive any advantage from it. 
       4. When there are several defendants, each of them may use such plea 
  as, he may think proper for his own defence; and they may join in the same 
  plea, or sever at their discretion; Co. Litt. 303, a except perhaps, in the 
  case of dilatory pleas. Hob. 245, 250. But when the defendants have once 
  united in the plea, they cannot afterwards sever at the rejoinder, or other 
  later stage of the pleading. Vide, generally, Bro. Summ. and Sev.; 2 Rolle, 
  488; Archb. Civ. Pl. 59. 
  
  

  SEVERANCE, estates. The act by which any one of the unities of a joint 
  tenancy is effected, is so called; because the estate is no longer a joint 
  tenancy, but is severed. 
       2. A severance may be effected in various ways, namely: 1. By 
  partition, which is either voluntary or compulsory. 2. By alienation of one 
  of the joint tenants, which turns the estate into a tenancy in common. 3. By 
  the purchase or descent of all the shares of the joint tenants, so that the 
  whole estate becomes vested in one only. Com. Dig. Estates by Grant, K 5; 1 
  Binn. R. 175. 
  
       3. In another and a less technical sense, severance is the separation 
  of a part of a thing from another; for example, the separation of machinery 
  from a mill, is a severance, and, in that case, the machinery which while 
  annexed to the mill was real estate, becomes by the severance; personalty, 
  unless such severance be merely temporary. 8 Wend. R. 587.
