Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Certiorari—Review of order striking off judgment.</p> <p>There is no statutory appeal from an order of the common pleas striking from the record an entry of satisfaction of a judgment. The effect of an appeal therefore is equivalent to a common law writ of certiorari which brings up the record only; the errors to be corrected must appear upon the face of the record, the merits cannot be inquired into; they are left to the judgment of the court below. Neither the evidence nor the opinion of the court forms any part of the record proper, and for that reason cannot be examined into.</p>
