W. J. Walker v. G. W. Craddock.
    Suit on Judgment — Pleading.
    A petition on a judgment, to be sufficient, must aver that tbe judgment sued on was unpaid at tbe time tbe suit was brought.
    APPEAL FROM FRANKLIN CIRCUIT COURT.
    January 6, 1875.
    
      John L. Scott, for appellant.
    
    
      G. W. Craddock, for appellee.
    
   Opinion by

Judge Cofer:

It is not alleged that the judgment, satisfaction of which is sought in this suit, was unpaid at the time the suit was brought; and the petition is, therefore, insufficient, and the judgment in this case must consequently be reversed.

As any inaccuracy of the judgment may be corrected upon a return of the cause, it is not necessary to decide whether such inaccuracy is error to be corrected here, or misprision to be corrected in the court below.

The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded with directions to allow the appellee to amend his petition and for further proceedings.
