Opinion

Farmer, J.

An Appellate Court has nothing to do with events that transpired subsequent to the judgment of the lower court, except in so far as they affect appellant’s right of appeal; and although it appears in the record that the judgment has been paid in full by the appellant, the judgment will be affirmed at his cost.

2. A judgment of itself should be so explicitand accurate, that its proper interpretation does not depend on argument or verbal criticism; but where the error is only slight, and its ambiguity springs only from nice distinctions in the moaning of words, it will not be disturbed.
