BEATTY, Retired Justice.

Cotton Energy Corporation appeals from the damages aspect of a judgment in its favor. Our supreme court has transferred this case to this court pursuant to § 12-2-7(6), Ala.Code 1975. We reverse and remand.

In March 1984 Cotton Energy sued numerous defendants, including Albert Smith, Jr., and Charles Ray Smith. The complaint alleged that the defendants owed Cotton Energy money due on an open account. In May 1985 the court entered a judgment against the defendants, including Albert Smith, Jr., and Charles Ray Smith, and in favor of Cotton Energy in the amount of $171,430.
