HUGHES, Justice.
In this case the trial court rendered a judgment by default against “the estate of C. W. Pewthers, deceased” in favor of Holland Page Industries, Inc., for the sum of $5,000.00 on a petition which prayed for a judgment for $2,500.00 and for such further relief to which plaintiff, appellee, may be entitled.
The appeal from such judgment is prosecuted by Truitt H. Pewthers, Independent Executor of the Estate of C. W. Pewthers, deceased.
We need not determine the effect of the form and amount of the judgment rendered for the reason that the default judgment cannot stand since there…
