Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Confession of judgment — Warrant of attorney — Exhaustion of power — Second judgment — Bail bond.</p> <p>1. The entry of judgment on a bond and warrant of attorney, exhausts the power of the warrant, and a second judgment entered thereon will be put aside. This rule applies to a second judgment entered on a bail bond.</p> <p>2. A second judgment entered on a bail bond is void although the first judgment has been stricken off as premature and improvidently entered. In such a case the first judgment is voidable as to the defendant, but not as to other parties. When it was entered it was a valid judgment, and the warrant upon which it was entered became functus officii.</p>
