STEELMAN against STEWART.
    ON OBRTIOHAIir.
    Proceedings void. Yerbal report of referees, no judgment.
    The following transcript of his docket was sent up by [*] the justice on the return of the writ, and constitutes the whole of the record below:—
    
      
    
    Crane, for plaintiff.
   By the Court.

— The report of the referees ought to have been in writing, and entered at large on the justice’s docket. The proceeding resembles as much a trial by a jury of three men as a reference. These short notes of proceedings in justice’s courts are very uncertain and unsatisfactory. Besides, here is no judgment entered. The proceedings must be declared void.
