Respublica v. Campbell.
    
      Forcible entry.
    
    . This was an inquisition of forcible entry, &c., taken before two justices of Lancaster county. The proceedings being removed by certiorari into this court, Bradford now moved that they might be quashed ; and showed for cause, that the defendant is stated in the inquest to have been possessed, but no estate or term is laid ; which, he said, was adjudged to be insufficient in a case of Respublica v. Scott; the court there observing that Hawkins was express, that an inquisition of forcible entry, &c., will not lie in the case of a tenant at will.
   By the Court.

Let the proceedings be quashed.
