Bracketed material. — The bracketed material was inserted by the compiler and is not part of the law.

Only transcript of judgment docket, not of judgment, to be filed. — The legislature meant a transcript of the judgment docket should be filed in the office of the county clerk, to be recorded by him in the judgment docket record in his office.
