Opinion:
Under the act of 1821, suggestions were filed against judgments, before confessed; which, on being called, were dismissed by the Judge of the Circuit Court. The defendants to the suggestions, thereupon, entered up judgments as. of nonsuit, and issued executions for costs. These executions, on motion before a Judge at Chambers, were ordered to be set aside, and on appeal, it was held that the defendants were not entitled to costs.
