Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Index—Idem sonans — Priority of lien.</p> <p>Where there is no other means of notice but the record, a prior judgment creditor will be postponed in distribution where he has neglected to have it entered either in the correct name of the defendant, or in the name in which he took and held title to the land, or in a name which, though spelled differently, is practically identical in sound with the sound of the correct name as commonly pronounced.</p> <p>In the vernacular the names Baker and Becker are not the same in sound, nor are they so nearly so that it is a matter of indifference whether a judgment against a person of either name is docketed and indexed in the name of Baker or the name of Becker.</p>
