Supreme Court of Alabama June 15, 1874 (Falkner v. Christian's Administrator)

BRICKELL, J.

When judicial proceedings, in a court of *497general jurisdiction, have ripened into a final judgment or decree, and are collaterally assailed, all reasonable intendments and presumptions are indulged to support them. Whatever of doubt or ambiguity the record may present, is resolved in favor of the validity of the judgment or decree.
