*455 Bujrwell, J.

(after stating the facts): The exception of the defendant to the introduction of the copy of the record of the judgment of the Circuit Court of Carroll County, Virginia, upon the ground that the certificate of the Judge thereon was “ defective, in that it states that the record is in due form of law, instead of in due form according to the law of this State,” cannot be sustained. The attestation of the Clerk should be, as here, in the form prescribed for the Court in which the judgment was rendered, and the certificate of the Judge that the Clerk’s attestation is in due form is conclusive. Black on Judgments, § 878. This record of the judgment of a Court of the State of Virginia being thus in evidence, and it appearing therefrom that the Court that rendered that judgment against the defendant had properly acquired jurisdiction over the parties and the subject-matter, it followed that, as full faith and credit must be given to that judgment thus established, no defence against it was open to the defendant, except such as would have availed him in the Court in which it was rendered, except, perhaps, fraud. Black on Judgments, § 881. And of fraud vitiating this judgment there was no evidence whatever. It is final and conclusive on the merits. Nothing can be set up against it that, with proper diligence, might have been interposed in the action in which it was rendered. Hence, it was not allowable for the defendant to attempt to show in this action that he or his attorney in that cause had made mistakes or omissions that enhanced the amount of the recovery against him there. He was represented there by counsel. The Court, as we have said, had jurisdiction of him and his' cause. What was there determined by the judgment then rendered is finally settled. The amount there ascertained to be due from him to the (state of T. M. Dobyns should be paid by him to the ancillary administrator in this State that he may dispose of it according to law.

Affirmed.
