By the Court:
The plaintiff below sued on a judgment against Sarah Brown, obtained during,the January term, 1897, upon which there is an unsatisfied balance of $296.31. He claimed that this judgment became a lien on property on Price Hill, sold and transferred during that term of court to the present plaintiff in error. The court below sustained a demurrer to the purchaser's answer, and granted a decree for sale.
