Counsel

Coleman D. Shepherd, of Jasper, for appellant. L. D. Gray and J. B. Powell, both of Jasper, for appellee. In view of the decision, it is not necessary that briefs be here set out.

Opinion of the Court

RICE, J.

“A judgment should be complete and certain in itself.” Sugar Valley Land Co. et al. v. Johnson, 17 Ala. App. 409, 85 So. 871, 874, and authorities cited in the opinion in that ease.

The judgment rendered in this case violates the above rule, and, ■ for that reason, must be reversed.

As the ease must be retried, and the evidence may be supplemented, we deem it profit *46 less to undertake to' decide whether or not, upon the evidence in the hill of exceptions, judgment in favor of appellee was warranted.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
