Supreme Court of Alabama · decided 1831-07-15

<p>A judgment by default, before filing a declaration, is error.</p>

Decided 1831-07-15

Perry, J.

¶1The record, in this case, shews, that the plaintiff in the Court below, before he filed his declaration, took a judgment by default, against the defendants, which judgment is said to be erroneous, and it has been so held by repeated decisions of this Court.

¶2The judgment must, therefore, be reversed back to the writ, and the cause remanded.
