14 Ind. 441 | Ind. | 1860
This was a suit by Ramey upon a judgment by him theretofore recovered against Reasor, in the same Court.
A demurrer to the complaint was overruled, and upon this ruling the only question in the case arises.
The record of the former judgment, which is the foundation of the action, is not made a part of the complaint.
If the - suit had been upon the judgment of another Court, without doubt a transcript of the record, which was the foundation of the suit, should have been filed with the complaint.
Does the fact that the suit was upon a record and judgment of the same Court, dispense with that necessity?
In the case of Votaw v. The State, 12 Ind. R. 497, this Court held that a recognizance fell within the statutory provision which requires that where a written instrument is the foundation of an action, either the original or a copy thereof shall be filed with the complaint. We see no
The demurrer should have been sustained.
The judgment is reversed with costs. Cause remanded, &c.
