Knapp against Palmer.
    
      Certiorari amended according to the affidavit on which obtained by striking out the words “trespass on the case,” and inserting “debt.”
    Error on certiorari. The affidavit on which the certiorari was granted, set forth the action to be debt, the [*487] certiorari *itself stated it to be trespass on the case. The defendant had served the plaintiff with a rule to assign errors, before the expiration of which, an application was made to Mr. Justice Kent, for an enlargement of the time, which was ordered on an affidavit of the plain ■ tiff’s attorney, specifying the original cause of action, and that the describing the cause as a trespass on the case was a mistake.
    Woods,
    on this affidavit, now moved for leave to
      
       amend the certiorari, by striking out the words “trespass on the case,” and, in their stead, inserting the word “ debt.”
