Headnote

Judgment—Action on.—The Plea of Nul Tiel Record is a good defense to an action on a judgment.
APPEAL from the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco.
T. C. Van Ness for appellant; H. C. Firebaugh for respondent.

The first defense set up in the answer of the defendant is substantially that of nul tiel record. Such a defense to an action on a judgment is a good one, and the court, therefore, erred in sustaining a demurrer to it. Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
