The People against The Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Washington.
    The affidavit for an attachment against judges of an inferior court for disobeying a mandamus ordering them to seal a bill of exceptions, ought to show that the persons served are those who ought to sign.
    Emott moved for an attachment against the defendants for not obeying a peremptory mandamus, commanding them to sign a bill of exceptions. See vol. 1, p. 511. The affidavit did not slate the service to have been when the court was sitting, or the persons on whom made. . -
    Champlin, for these reasons, objected to the application".
   Kent, Ch. J.
