(815 ILCS 115/3) (from Ch. 17, par. 607)
Sec. 3.
In any suit mentioned in the preceding section a separate judgment
may be entered by default against any defendant or defendants severally
liable who have been duly served with summons, and against whom the
plaintiff would have been entitled to judgment had the suit been against
such defendant or defendants only. The suit shall thereby be severed, and
shall proceed to trial against the other party or parties in the same
manner as if it had been commenced against such other party or parties
only, and if the plaintiff recover, judgment shall be entered against such
one or more of the defendants as are found liable to him, but in no event
shall the plaintiff be entitled to more than one satisfaction.
