ANDERSON, C. J.
[1]
We may concede that, as assignment of error No. 2 gives the date and the pages of the record of the judgment complained of, it should not have been disregarded by the Court of Appeals, notwithstanding one of the appellants was not set out or named in the face of said judgment. It would serve no useful purpose, however, to grant the writ of certiorari and send this case back to the Court of Appeals for an affirmance of same upon the merits. We have examined the original record and are of the opinion that the appeal was properly affirmed.

The appellant’s point against the judgment because of a variance, in that the judgment was against the old firm, which is not indebted to the defendant, instead of the corporation subsequently organized as the Paterson & Edey Lumber Company, the successor, is quite hypercritical. It is true the judgment entry shows a hyphen between Paterson and Edey instead of the word “and” or the character but throughout this record they seem to be synonymous' and have been used interchangeably. See the affidavit and writ of garnishment, appellant’s motion and bond, as well as the judgment entry. In each instance,- however, and especially the judgment entry, the name as given is followed by “a corporation,” thus clearly indicating that the proceedings and judgment
were against this appellant corporation, and not the firm that it succeeded.
Writ denied.
