    Judgments — Actions to Enforce Collection — Second Judgment in Personam.
    In an action to enforce the collection of a judgment, the circuit court has no authority to render a second: judgent in personam.
    APPEAL PROM GARTER CIRCUIT COURT.
    January 27, 1872.
    Davis, for appellant.
    
   Opinion op the Court by

Judge Pryor :

This action was instituted to enforce the collection of a judgment. The circuit court, therefore, had no authority to render a second judgment in personam against the appellant, and to this extent the judgment appealed from must be reversed.

There is a slight error in the amount adjudged to be paid put ■of the Jacobs debt, but the error is so insignificant (being less than one dollar), that the judgment in rem will not be disturbed ■on that account.

The formal judgment is reversed and 'cause remanded.
