Syllabus

<p>Jurisdiction, G. P. — Motion to strike off judgment.</p> <p>The courts are held to a strict scrutiny of the record alone on motions to strike off judgments, and they may not go beyond the record in reaching a decision.</p> <p>Married woman — Judgment note — Practice, G. P. — Motion to open judgment.</p> <p>It is not the present practice to strike off a judgment against a woman upon disclosure of coverture by depositions.</p> <p>Where a judgment regular on its face has been entered up the allegation that the note in question was given by a married woman before the Act of 1887 cannot be raised on a motion to strike off, but should be made the subject of a motion to open the judgment when the question of ratification or re-creation of the debt might be inquired into.</p>
