West Virginia Code Chapter 38. Liens § 38-4-25. Judgment on defaulted purchase money notes

If any note so taken be not paid to the officer when due, he shall indorse thereon any payments made to him and return it to the office of the clerk of the court from which such execution, order of sale or other process issued, who shall indorse thereon the date of such return, whereupon the clerk shall, without process or further proceedings, enter, in the law order book, judgment in favor of the officer upon such note for the amount remaining unpaid with interest. Such judgment shall be as final and valid as if entered by the court, except only that the court shall have such control of it as is given by article two, chapter fifty-eight of this Code.
