3 Va. 169
Dunbar v. Lindenberger

Opinion of the Court

Judge Roane

pronounced the opinion of the Court, that, although the appellant acknowledged the action of the appellees, generally, yet he not having confessed a judgment for arty particular sum, it was incompetent for the Court to supply that defect, and assess the damages. The judgment was therefore reversed, and the cause remanded, that the writ of inquiry might be executed.
