be lawful for any justice of the peace to enter judgment in all
cases of debt, of which he may have cognizance, against either
plaintiff or defendant, for such sum as to him may appear just
and right, with such costs as may have accrued in the prosecution
of the case; which said judgment, when so rendered, if in
favor of the defendant, shall be of equal effect and avail as if
the same were rendered in favor of the plaintiff; and it shall
and may be lawful to enforce the recovery of the same in the
same manner as if the same were rendered in favor of the plaintiff. |
