Syllabus
<p>NOTE—JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION—WAIVER OF CITATION—APPEAL BY STATE.</p> <p>1. Where, in a promissory note payable in the future, the maker, simultaneously with the execution of the same, waives citation and confesses judgment upon it, the waiver and the confession are without effect, but the note itself is not annulled. A waiver of citation and confession of judgment made after the maturity of the note will warrant a judgment upon the note, though the circumstances under which this was done may give rise to an action of nullity for fraud, where the state appeals from such a judgment, making allegations of matters of fraud which require evidence to be taken, the proper remedy is by an action in nullity and an injunction, not by a suspensive appeal.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
