    [592] This is an action of replevin for the recovery of a slave by Hall, against Tomkins and Rutherford. A judgement was rendered against W. G. Pierce and B.J. Rutherford, in the circuit court of Sumner county. In the circuit court of Bedford a judgement was rendered in favor of the surety, Rutherford against F.B. & W.G. Pierce. Execution was issued and levied on a slave, and the defendants in this case claim as purchasers at execution sale. On the trial they offered as evidence, a transcript of the record of judgement rendered in Bedford. This was objected to. The objection was overruled, the transcript admitted by the presiding judge (S. Anderson), and a verdict and judgement rendered for the defendants.
    The plaintiff appealed.
