The court below granted a nonsuit. It is urged by respondents that the order was proper, because the libel alleged in the complaint was not proved, but another and distinct libel, consisting of words published concerning plaintiff and another person —Robinett and Kernan.

*612 No question of partnership is presented by the record. If plaintiff’s name was annexed to the publication, so as to make the alleged libel applicable to him, it is immaterial that other names were also annexed to the libelous words, even though one of them was connected by the copulative “and” with the name of plaintiff. It is not a fatal variance when the words alleged in an action brought by A are “A committed forgery,” and the proof “ A and B committed forgery.” (Nichols v. Hayes, 13 Conn. 155 .) Plaintiff here proved substantially the words alleged by proving words including the words alleged—the latter constituting a libel. The proof of words in addition to the words alleged does not constitute a material variance, unless, at least, the additional words take away, detract from, or modify, the legal effect of the words alleged. The rule is that when the injury is several, each person injured must sue alone. (Townshend S. & L. § 303, and note.)

Respondents further contend that plaintiff introduced no evidence to support the averments of the complaint:—

Respondents further contend there was no evidence to show that defendants, or any of them, had any connection with or caused said publication to be made.

There was some evidence tending to prove admissions of defendant Asa R. Wells, showing that he had connection with, and, with others, caused the publication to be made.

*613 The judgment is reversed in so far as it is a judgment in favor of the defendant Asa B. Wells, and is in other respects affirmed. The order denying a new trial as to all the defendants, except the defendant Asa B. Wells, is affirmed. As to the defendant Asa B. Wells, the order denying a new trial is reversed, and the cause is remanded for a retrial of all the issues as between the plaintiff and the said Asa B. Wells.
