It does not even name the parties against whom this scire facias has issued. A valid judgment of forfeiture was set out in the scire facias, but it was not offered in evidence.\nFor want of a proper judgment of forfeiture, this judgment on the scire facias must be reversed.\nJudgment reversed.",

It is not enough that a valid judgment of forfeiture is set out in the scire facias,\u2014it must be given in evidence.\nWrit of Error to the Circuit Court of Washington county; the Hon. Silas L. Bryan, Judge, presiding.\nThis was a proceeding by scire facias upon a recognizance, in which a judgment was rendered against the defendants. There was no judgment of forfeiture given in evidence, and the want thereof is assigned as error.\nMr. J. M. Durham, for the plaintiff in error.\nMr. Washington Bushnell, Attorney General, and Mr. John Michan, State\u2019s Attorney, for the people."
