Case posture Posture THIS was a scire facias suggesting assets. Pleas, nul tiel record, no assets . The scire facias was returned to Bertie County Court, at November Term, 1807, and recited a judgment for £ 917 12s. 1d., with interest thereon from 20 October, 1805, until paid, for debt. The record offered in evidence was of a judgment for £ 1,835 4s.2d., to be discharged on payment of £ 917 4s. 1d., with interest, etc., when assets , etc. The plaintiff had a verdict upon the plea of no assets, and judgment was given for him upon the plea of nul tiel record. The defendant appealed to the Superior Court, and at October Term, 1809, the jury were charged with the trial of the issue of fact, and by the consent of parties a juror was withdrawn and the case continued. At the next term the plea of nul tiel record being submitted to the court, the variance between the judgment recited in the scire facias and that set forth in the record offered in evidence was insisted on; and the court adjudged that there was no such record as that recited in the sci. fa . Because, (1) The sci. fa . recited a judgment for £ 917 12s. 1d.; the record produced was for a judgment of £ 1,835 4s.2d. (2) The sci. fa . recited an absolute judgment; the record produced was of a judgment when assets . Source: CourtListener
