Syllabus

<p>1. A judgment, entered by a justice on the confession of the defendant voluntarily appearing in person, is not void, when for an amount within his jurisdiction, though the record recite that it is for a balance due on a note with warrant of attorney to confess judgment.</p> <p>2. An unintelligible mark appearing on the face of the execution, it was not error to admit the testimony of the justice that it was meaningless, and intended only to fill a blank space; and with this explanation to admit the execution itself, as evidence of the validity of a sale thereunder.</p>
