    Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
    June Term, 1812.
    Bail — Civil Case — Affidavit.
    Affidavit to hold to bail.
    P. S. Hey, for Briscoe, moved to enter his appearance for this defendant without bail.

   THE COURT

(PITZHUGH, Circuit Judge, absent) held it to be sufficient to hold Briscoe to bail.
