Jones v. Howard et al.
    
    April 1, 1895.
    Brought forward from the last term.
    Money rule. Before Judge Attaayay. City court of Cartersville. March term, 1894.
    Joe M. Moon, for plaintiff in error.
    John W. Akin, contra.
    
   Simmons, C. J.

The registry act of October 1st, 1889, does'not contemplate or require that a distress warrant for rent shall be entered upon the general execution docket provided for by section 2 of that act. As the judge below who tried the case without a jury entertained a contrary view, and therefore necessarily rendered a judgment in favor of the prevailing party, irrespective of the disputed question of fact involved, there should be a new trial.

Judgment reversed.
