• Decided: July 5, 1877
• Status: Published

Opinion

By the Court:

The omission to state his office or official .addition on the margin of the docket on entering the names of the parties, the plaintiff and defendant, in the heading of the suit below, was sufficiently supplied by the words “ said constable,” contained in the statement of the cause of action which immediately follows the names of the parties as stated in the record, and before any other constable is named, or any other person is referred to as a constable having any connection whatever with the case, and it must therefore be understood, of course, to have reference to the person named as the plaintiff below in the action as the “ said constable ” from whom the defendant bought the ' goods at the said constable sale, which the record also sufficiently imports.

Judgment below affirmed.
