Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Marking judgment to use — Evidence—Competency of witness — Party dead.</p> <p>Where the record of a judgment against two defendants shows that the judgment had been marked to the use of a son of one of the defendants in the latter’s lifetime, and the evidence of disinterested parties shows that the judgment was marked to the use of the son to keep it alive, and that the father was not indebted to the son, the son cannot avail himself of the judgment. In such a ease, the father being dead, the son is not a competent witness.</p>
