Syllabus

<p>Judgments — Opening judgment — Practice—Evidence.</p> <p>While a judgment should not be opened, as a general rule, upon defendant’s oath alone when he is contradicted by the testimony of plaintiff, yet where there are corroborating circumstances, or circumstances from which inferences may be drawn corroborative of defendant, it is proper to open the judgment and refer the question to the jury.</p>
