The application for execution by arrest and detention is legally proper as both defendants, including the 2nd judgment debtor, are parties to the decree. The 2nd judgment debtor's conduct demonstrates willful refusal to pay the decretal amount despite promises and opportunities, justifying arrest and detention as a civil prisoner for six months.
