    June Term, 1808.
    Chancery Cause — Scire Facias — Service. — In what manner a scire facias to revive a suit in Chancery must be served.
    
      
       The principal case is cited in Dangerfield v. Claiborne, 4 Hen. & M. 394.
    
   By the Chancellor.

A scire facias to revive a suit in this Court, which abates by the death of either party, must be served “by the sheriff or other officer to whom the same is directed;” the service thereof by a private individual, though proved by affidavit, not being sufficient.
