Syllabus

<p>Judgment—Opening judgment—Record—Evidence—Set-off—Forgery—Consideration. '</p> <p>On the trial of an issue to determine the validity of a judgment opened generally and without conditions, the record of the judgment is not admissible in evidence. In such a case the court cannot limit the issue to the question of the forgery of the note on which the judgment was entered; nor will the defendant be permitted to offer evidence as to set-off, but he may show want of consideration or payment.</p>
