Supreme Court of Alabama January 15, 1848 (Spann v. Cole)

COLLIER, C. J.

The assignment of error brings to our view the correctness of the judgment of the circuit court on the motion to quash. Whether the confession by the defendant that he was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of five hundred dollars, leaving open for contestation the residue of the demand, authorized a judgment for costs, is an inquiry which cannot now be made.
