The opinion of the court was delivered by

— If any affidavit was necessary in such a case as this, certainly this one is quite sufficient, and ought to have prevented the judgment from being entered. According to it the condition of the recognizance has not been broken, for Culan has not disproved the debt in the foreign attachment case.

If it was intended as a quashing of the foreign attachment suit, with its judgment and the other proceedings thereon, this is no less incomprehensi-, ble. .This does not seem to us to be an equivalent for the duty of disproving or avoiding the debt, or for reversing a judgment for error. - .

Judgment reversed, and procedendo awarded.
