PARKER, Sen. against CRAMMER. [197]
    ON CEETIOEARI
    The record must show that referees were sworn.
    While this cause was depending below, it had by the consent of parties, been submitted to referees. The referees had reported in favor of plaintiff, on which judgment had been entered by the justice; but it did not appear that the referees had been sworn. The defendant below brings this certiorari, and assigns this matter for error.
    
      Tucker, Att’y for plaintiff.
   By the Court.

— The act of Assembly requires the referees to be sworn, and it ought to appear on the record that they were sworn before they had heard and determined the cause. — For want of which the judgment must be reversed.
