1Opinion of the CourtLe Grand, C. J.
This is an appeal from a judgment of St. Mary’s county court, rendered by confession on the 5th day of August 1851, in a case docketted by consent on that day. The cause of action filed with the written consent to docket the case, and the confession of judgment, was the bill obligatory of the appellant. The record does not show it was stamped as required by the act of Assembly. Because of this omission, and the want of a declaration in the cause, the appellant asks a'reversal of the judgment, and were it not for the provisions of the act of 1825, ch. 117, he would be entitled to it.
