Opinion:
OPINION OF THE COURT.
There is an error in the judgment of the circuit court in rendering judgment against the defendant without the production of any evidence to prove the assignment of the note on which the action was brought. The case of Stroud v. Harrington, decided at the January term, 1831 [Case No. 13,540a], is in point, and contains the reasons upon which this opinion is based. The time at which the assignment was filed up at the trial, we do not regard as erroneous. Judgment reversed.
