APPEAL PROM GARTER CIRCUIT COURT.
January 27, 1872.
Davis, for appellant.

Opinion:
Opinion op the Court by
Judge Pryor :
This action was instituted to enforce the collection of a judgment. The circuit court, therefore, had no authority to render a second judgment in personam against the appellant, and to this extent the judgment appealed from must be reversed.
There is a slight error in the amount adjudged to be paid put of the Jacobs debt, but the error is so insignificant (being less than one dollar), that the judgment in rem will not be disturbed on that account.
The formal judgment is reversed and 'cause remanded.
