Gunn v. Turner's adm'r
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The first error assigned in thi3 case is the refusal of the court to scale the judgment rendered by default at
The record does not disclose the consideration of the bond, nor the kind of currency in which the payments were made. And if this court were authorized to infer from the date of the instrument and the period of the respective payments that the bond in question is solvable in Confederate currency, it would not be warranted in drawing such a conclusion, where the record states, as in this casej that the Circuit court, upon the evidence adduced, refused to apply the scale of depreciation. "What that evidence was ; what it tended to prove, we have no means of ascertaining. No bill of exceptions was taken ; and none of the facts are stated on the record, by which this court can undertake to review the decision of the Circuit court. If the plaintiffs in error considered themselves aggrieved by the judgment, it was plainly their duty to obtain a certificate of the facts proved ; and thus show affirmatively there is error in the judgment. As they have failed so to do, this court is bound to conclude the decision was warranted by the evidence adduced on the trial.
The second assignment is, that the original judgment having been rendered upon a joint bond against the four obligors therein, and process being served only on three, such judgment is erroneous, and must be reversed as to all. . The 6th section, chap. 181, Code of 1860, provides that “ no appeal, writ of error or supersedeas shall be allowed by an appellate court or judge, for any
For these reasons the judgment of the Circuit court is affirmed ; but without prejudice to the right of the plaintiffs in error to move in said court, to reverse or amend the original judgment against them, upon the ground suggested in the second assignment of error.
Judgment arrirmed ; but without prejudice.
