Opinion

Lore, C. J.:—

This record states that the Justice heard “ the proofs in the case.” We have uniformly held that the record should set out, as required by statute, that the Justice heard the plaintiff’s proofs and allegations; and moreover this judgment against the wife is on the face of it a judgment by default, and it being a joint judgment, it of course vitiates the judgment.

Let the judgment below be reversed.
