*Stanard v. Timberlake.
    May, 1832.
    Forthcoming Bond — Confession of Judgment —Effect. —A confession of judgment on a forthcoming bond is a release of all errors in the previous proceedings.
    Timberlake having recovered a judgment against Stanard, tor debt and costs in the county court of Spottsytvania, sued out a writ of fieri facias thereon, which was returned nulla bona: and thirteen years after the return of that execution, without any proceeding in the interval, he sued out a capias ad respondendum on the judgment; which being served on Stanard, he delivered property to the sheriff in discharge of his body, and gave a forthcoming bond for the delivery of it at the day and place appointed for the sale thereof. Stanard then moved the county court to quash this execution, on the ground, that after such a lapse of time, without any proceeding on the judgment, no execution could regularly be sued out: the court overruled the motion. Afterwards, the forthcoming bond having been re'urned forfeited, Stanard confessed judgment upon the bond, and the court awarded execution upon it. Then Stanard applied for a supersedeas from the circuit court to the order of the county court overruling his motion to quash the execution ; which was allowed: but the circuit court affirmed the judgment. And then he applied to this court for a supersedeas to the judgment of the circuit court; which was allowed.
    Briggs, for plaintiff in error.
    Stanard, for defendant.
