Opinion:
Johns, C. J.
In every case of judgment by default on a constable's return of summons, it ought to appear on some part of the record sent up. We do not mean that it should be made a docket entry, but it should appear there or in some other part of the return. Judgment reversed.
(Vide 1 Str. 140, 2 Str. 1077, that the loss of this record might be supplied by a new entry.)
