      Mulock
    
    suggested, that the Court would take judicial notice that there had been such a circuit,
   Curia.

We have often held otherwise. Before you can move for judgment as in case of nonsuit, you must shew by your affidavit affirmatively, that there has been a circuit at which the plaintiff might have tried his cause. Till this is shown, it does not appear that he was in default.

Motion denied.
