KING'S LESSEE vs. HALL.
    In this case there was a deed produced from John Read to the plaintiff, which contained a clause general warranty. An affidavit was read stating that the plaintiff had not the original grant, nor power over it in order to let in the evidence of a copy ; objected that the affidavit did not shew but that the plaintiff might have power over it.
    A personclaiming under a deed withgeneral warranty is not presumed to have the original Grant.
   Per Curiam.

The copy may be read for the law would have presumed, the plaintiff had not the original. Claiming by deed with general warranty, in presumption of law the person warranting,holds possession of the original grant.
