Quesnel v. Mussi.
    
      Privilege of freeholder.
    
    A judgment before a justice is sufficient to defeat the privilege of a freeholder.
    The defendant being sued by a capias in this action, PEeatly obtained a rule to show cause why the writ should not be quashed, upon proof that the defendant was a freeholder.
    
      Ingersoll and Du Ponceau
    
    opposed the rule, and produced the records of two judgments which had been obtained against the defendant before a justice of the peace, &c.
   By the Court.

This is a sufficient ground to defeat the privilege of a freeholder.

Let the rule be discharged.
