Miller v. Shearer
Opinion of the Court
Scire facias, in the Circuit Court, to obtain execution upon the transcript of a judgment of a justice of
Afterwards, in vacation, the plaintiff amended and refiled his scire facias; and, at the next succeeding term, the Court awarded execution against the defendant named in it, for want of an answer. There was no notice to, nor appearance by, the defendant after the amending and refiling of the scire facias.
On the final judgment for the defendant on the demurrer, he was out of Court, and no further proceeding could be had against him except upon a new notice, or his reappearance. Neither of these things appearing to have occurred, the judgment against the defendant must be reversed.
The judgment is reversed with costs. Cause remanded, &c.
