Rodney, for the motion. Rogers, jr., contra.

State Ex Rel. Walker v. Walker

Opinion of the Court

The Court

laid a rule to show cause why the proceedings subse-uent to the judgment should not ba vacated, and an order made on he prothonotary to correct this mistake, and ascertain the true mount of the judgment according to the recognizance, and the in-:erest of the plaintiff in the same.

The matter came up again at the November term, and it appear-ng to the court that the prothonotary had made a mistake in ascer-aining the amount of this judgment, by calculating one-fifth instead f one-fourth of the valuation money, the rule was made absolute. See 19 Johns. Rep. 244.)
