1Opinion of the CourtGregory, J.
A suit in chancery was instituted by Spence and Ward, executors, against H. S. Bales, et als. Among other things, the complainants alleged, in their bill filed in the suit, that a judgment lien claimed by the Bank of Marion for the sum of $2,000.00 with interest and attorney’s fees was void. The judgment purports to be one by confession. W. Lynn Copenhaver, attorney in fact, for H. S. Bales and Mrs. H. S. Bales, confessed the judgment in the clerk’s office, before the clerk, on the 6th day of January, 1922, at which time the Circuit Court of Wythe county was in vacation.
