PHELAN, J.

The action below was on an open ‍‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‍account, for a sum less than twenty dollars, and was brought to the Circuit Court by ‍‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‍appeal. The judgment was by default, and the record does not show that any proof was ‍‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‍made to the court of the correctness of the demand. This was an error, as this ‍‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‍court has expressly decided, in Kenum v. Henderson, 6 Ala. 132, and Witherington v. Brantly, 18 ib. ‍‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‍197.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.
