Haden v. Perry.
    Judgment cannot be confessed before the return term of the writ.
    The defendant was arrested on a writ returnable to the next term.
    
      
      Mr. Taylor, for the defendants,
    moved for a habeas corpus, to bring up the defendant to confess judgment at this term, and cited the Act of Assembly of Virginia of 19th December, 1792, § 43, p. 113, that a confession of judgment is equal to a release of errors.
   But the Court

overruled the motion. See McNeil v. Cannon, June term, 1803, [ante, 127,] and Smith v. McCue, or Askew v. Smith, March adjourned term, 1804, [ante, 159.]
