Tuesday, September 11.
In Error.
In covenant if deft ndant pleads covenants performed, and entry is made on the docket and issue, it is to be con aid (.red as a diivction to the Piothonoiary to make h formal entry of tin- issue, and the omission to do so is merely a clerical error.
ERROR to the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland county.
Narr in covenant brought by Burkholder against Hanna. Defendant pleaded covenants performed, and the words “ and issue” wtre entered on the docket. The error now assigned was, that no issue was joined. The case was submitted to the Court without argument.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We consider the words, and issue, in this case to be a direction to the Prothonotary, to make a formal entry of the issue, and the omission to do so, no more than a clerical error,which may be amended.
Judgment affirmed.
