Opinion

Per Curiam.

— The act requires the defendant to offer a confession of judgment, not to tender the debt; and we should get away from every thing like certainty did we depart from the words. Besides, the justice had authority to receive the money only on the foot of a judgment; and that was not proposed to be given. The present point was left open in M'Dowell v. Glass, not because it was a doubtful one, but because it did not arise.

Judgment affirmed.
