Syllabus

<p>Evidence judgment — Becord.</p> <p>In an action to recover the value of certain empty beer barrels, the defendant offered in evidence the record of a judgment for the plaintiff before an alderman for the price of the beer sold in the barrels. It did not appear that any claim was made before the alderman for the value of the-barrels, but the evidence showed that the defendant was to have a reasonable time to return the barrels after selling the beer. The judgment before the alderman was entered fifteen days after the last beer was sold. Held, that the record was not conclusive against the plaintiff and that it was properly excluded.</p>
