LODGE and JONES against BURTON.
    ON CF.RTIORA1U.
    The action below, was brought by Burton against Lodge, as guardian of the heirs of Malichi Horner, deceased, and Jones as representative of. Philip Sunderman, deceased, for overflowing a part of a swamp, by raising a saw-mill dam of Caleb Homer. The state of demand did not state that the swamp belonged to the plaintiff below, or that he had any interest in it. It was objected that this state of demand was too uncertain, and that representatives and guardians could not be sued as such for torts; nor could they be joined in one action, being no way connected together.
   By the Court.

The record below is too vague and uncertain to sustain judgment.

Judgment reversed.
