Sanders, in favor of John Chenoweth, with interest from this date till paid. Jonathan Mayo.\u201d\nApril 18,1823.\nA judgment was obtained against the said Jonathan Mayo by the said John Chenoweth, before a justice of the peace, for the sum of thirty-five dollars, from which judgment the said Jonathan Mayo appealed to the circuit court of Edgar county, in which court the judgment of the justice of the peace was affirmed, and from the judgment of the circuit court of the aforesaid county, Jonathan Mayo takes an appeal to this court.\nThe court below erred in rendering judgment below for the then plaintiff, John Chenoweth, against the defendant, Jonathan Mayo, in this, that it is not shown by the said instrument of writing upon which the action was founded, to whom it was made payable. For which reason, the court is of the opinion that the judgment below be reversed, ,\nJudgment reversed.\nVide Smith v. Bridges, ante, page 18.\nSee note to Smith v. Bridges, ante, p. 18.",
