Opinion:
HODGES, J.
In February, 1913, the appellant, S. G. Blalock, sued A. J. Sibley to recover on four promissory notes for $178.33 each and to foreclose a vendor's lien upon a tract of land theretofore conveyed by him to Sibley. A judgment was rendered in Bla-lock's favor for $1,148.77 with the foreclosure of the lien prayed for. A memorandum of this judgment was entered by the judge on his trial docket, and a copy prepared by Blalock's attorney for the clerk to use in malting the record. The copy prepared, however, left the amount of the judgment blank; and the clerk,- following this, failed to state the amount of the judgment in completing the record. Thereafter an order of sale was issued, and the clerk, acting under instructions from Blalock's attorney, took the amount for which judgment had been rendered from the memorandum entered on the docket of the trial judge. The order of sale was placed in the hand^. of the sheriff, who advertised and sold the property to W. B. Wright, the appellee in this suit. During the pendency of the suit of Blalock against Sibley the former sold the land to W. W. Dickerson, taking in payment therefor several promissory notes. Some time thereafter Wright filed this suit against Blalock and all the parties concerned to have a judgment entered nunc pro tunc in the suit of Blalock against Sibley, and also filed a suit in trespass to try title against W. W. Dickerson to recover possession of the land. The two suits were later consolidated and tried before the court without a jury. Dickerson answered in that suit asking for cancellation of his notes in the event judgment was rendered against him in favor of Wright. After hearing the evidence judgment was rendered in favor of Wright, correcting the judgment entry as made by the clerk and entering the correct amount nunc pro tunc. Judgment was,also rendered in favor of Dickerson canceling the notes theretofore given by him to Blalock, and in favor of Wright for the title and possession of the land. Blalock alone has appealed.
Appellant's brief contains what are styled four assignments of error. None of these point out any ruling of the court as the subject-matter of complaint. We are therefore unable to consider them.
We have examined the record, and find no fundamental error of which Blalock could complain; and the judgment is affirmed.
