CONSTITUTIONAL COURT,
    COLUMBIA,
    SPRING SESSION, 1801.
    M’Cord v. Lloyd.
    After having appeared, and suffered judgment by default, for want of a plea, the defendant cannot take advantage of a defect in the original writ.
    On a motion to set aside the verdict and proceedings upon a writ of inquiry, it appeared, that after the defendant had entered an ap-' pearance, an interlocutory order for judgment had been obtained, after the expiration of the rule to plead, which was duly served, an<b thereupon a writ of inquiry executed. The ground of the motion was, that the original writ had no seal affixed to it.
   T1 . By the court.

„ . , ^ T Present, the associate judges, Grimke, Johnson, Ramsay, and Trezevant.

The defendant having appeared

and made default, cannot now, at this stage, take advantage of the defect in the original writ.

The objection comes too late. Motion dismissed.
