    Assignment of sealed bill, implies no warranty.i 
    
    This was an action brought against the- plaintiffs in certiorari, who were the defendants before the justice, to recover the amount of a sealed bill given by one Robert Montgomery, to the intestate, dated the 4th October, 1791, and alleged to have been indorsed by the plaintiff’s intestate, James Harris, in his lifetime, to the defendants below, who set out in their state of demand, that they had prosecuted Montgomery, and could not recover the money; and thereupon came back on Harris in his lifetime, who refused to pay, and now on his administrators, he being dead. The bill was for $22.77, to which they added fourteen years5 intei’est, making in all, $45.55, for which sum, lacking five cents, the jury found a verdict in their favor. Thte court were clearly of opinion, that the defendants in error [*] were not entitled to recover against the administrators of Harris, and
    
      White, for plaintiff.
