Failed the First case for which the defect is found and Block the second case with the same defect.

As you have found the defect in first cases execution.
Link the defect to the test cases if you are using QC

If a defect is indirectly affecting two cases... in QC the defect can be linked to both the test cases and those cases may be marked "Blocked by defect"...
