CANFIELD v. ALLEN, LATE SHERIFF.
    
      Nil debet is no plea to an action of debt on an amercement.
    This was an action of debt against the late sheriff, who had been amerced for some neglect of his duty, grounded on the amercement. The defendant pleaded nil debet, which the plaintiff now moved to set aside.
   Per Cur.

This plea has been already determined not pleadable to an action of debt sur amercement. It is an attempt to bring the trial of a record before a jury.

Let the plea be set aside.
