Syllabus

<p>1. Confession of judgment—what constitutes. Where the docket of a justice of the peace shows that the defendant agreed that plaintiff should have judgment for a given sum, and that the plaintiff accepted the judgment tendered, this will be sufficient to show a confession of judgment by the defendant, and no appeal will lie from the judgment.</p> <p>2. Same — waiver of technical objections. A defendant, by confessing judgment in a suit before a justice of the peace, waives all formal objections, such as, that the docket, or transcript thereof, does not show the nature of the plaintiff’s demand.</p>
