Merrett v. Vance
Merrett v. Vance
Opinion of the Court
A suit was instituted in the circuit court of Yazoo county against Yance and Woods, as makers, and Dorsey as indorser of a promissory note, and judgment recovered. Execution process emanated on this judgment, and several terms after the rendition of the original judgment, to wit, at May term, 1841, a motion was made by the plaintiffs to quash the original fieri facias, the forthcoming bond which had been taken thereon, and all subsequent proceedings, because of a variance between the judgment and fieri facias. The motion was overruled, and to reverse this judgment this writ of error is prosecuted.
It appears by the bill of exception that the plaintiff in support of his motion introduced the original judgment, and also the fieri facias and bond, and also the subsequent fieri facias which issued on the forfeited bond, and closed his evidence. These matters of evidence are prefixed to, or inserted in the record of proceedings, but they are not incorporated in the bill of exceptions. Of themselves they constitute no part of the record in the proceedings on
It is also objected, that the motion to quash should have been made at the return term of the bond, and so it was ruled in 4 Howard, 369. Judgment affirmed.
