Before a service of this could be effected, the justice had quitted the state, and had never returned within it.
    
      Brees, for the defendant,
    now moved to nonpross the writ, and have his costs- allowed.
   Per curiam.

Why did you join in error? Your costs are of your own seeking, and without any fault in the plaintiff. You may sue out execution on your judgment below ; but the plaintiff must have liberty to discontinue without costs.
