Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Foreign Judgment — Full Faith and Credit Extended to a Judgment of Federal District Court. Although a federal district court is one of limited jurisdiction, its judgment stands upon the same footing as that of a state court of general jurisdiction, and is given the full faith and credit extended to a judgment of a state court.</p> <p>2. Same — Presumption of Validity of Foreign Judgment. Such a judgment duly authenticated comes here with a presumption of validity, unless the contrary affirmatively appears on the face of the record itself.</p> <p>3. Same — Errors Corrected Only by Trial Court or On Appeal. A recovery of interest or other demand, although excessive and erroneous, does not render the judgment void, but it is one which can only be corrected in the court rendering the judgment or upon appeal to a court of review.</p>
