Judgment iwitten on slip of paper no. judgment; writ directing supervisors to pay judgment of justice ineffectual where judgment not entered.</p> <p>A mandamus issuing from the circuit court, directing the board of supervisors to pay an alleged judgment of a justice of the peace, is ineffectual, where it appears that the alleged judgment was not entered upon the docket of the justice of the peace. A judgment written on a slip of paper is no judgment. A justice of the peace court is a court of record.</p>
