Head Matter:
Steele v. Cochran & Allgood.
1. Though the verdict seems strongly against the weight of evidence, yet it being a second verdict in favor of the same party, and there being some slight evidence to support it, there was no abuse of discretion in overruling the certiorari.
2. The judgment being rendered at the December term of the justice’s court, and the execution showing that it was rendered on the 20th of December, there was no variance between the execution and the judgment.
February 3, 1892.

Opinion:
Judgment affirmed.
Verdict. Judgment. Execution. Before Judge Harris. Carroll superior court. April term, 1891.
Reese & Cobb, for plaintiff in error.
J. L. Cobb, by brief, contra.
Execution against Haney was levied on a bull which was claimed by Steele. In the justice's court the issue was twice tried, and both juries found against the claimant. From the first verdict certiorari was sustained ; from the second it was overruled. The grounds of error were, that the verdict was contrary to the evidence, and that it was error to admit the execution in evidence over claimant's objection that it did not follow the judgment. The judgment was entered on the magistrate's docket as rendered at the December term, 1884 ; the execution did not recite that the judgment was rendered at that term, but recited that it was rendered December 20, 1884.
