    A writ of error does not lie upon an order made by the court below, to discharge a juror.

    moved to quash the writ of error, because no judgment was rendered by the court below.

   .The Court

having intimated the strong inclination of their mind, that the writ of error did not lie, because final judgment had not been given, Mr. Duncan requested time to search for precedents. In the afternoon, Mr. Duncan admitted the law to be, that a writ of error did not lie until final judgment, or an order in the nature of final judgment. Whereupon the court ordered the writ of error to be quashed.

Writ of error quashed.
