Syllabus

<p>Husband and wife — Judgment—Justice of the peace — Transcript.</p> <p>Where a judgment has been recovered before a justice of the peace against defendant and wife, without naming the wife, and the plaintiff thereafter files a transcript of the record of the justice in the common pleas, and no attempt is made before the justice of the peace to amend the record so as to make the wife a party by name, the court of common pleas is without jurisdiction, to amend the record so as to add the name of the wife as a party. In such a case the judgment on the transcript as filed is a judgment against the husband alone.</p>
