Scott v. Hall.
    Tuesday, April, 23d, 1811.
    1. Writ of Certiorari — When Proper — Where Transcript Certified.- -A writ of certiorari, for defect of the record, is proper where the transcript has been certified by the proper officer, and is suggested to be defective; butnot where it is not authenticated at all.
    2. Same — Same—Same -Supersedeas. — In such case, even after the cause has been argued, the super-sedeas will be quashed as haying been improyj-dently granted.
    
      Botts moved to quash the writ of superse-deas in this case as improvidently granted; the clerk of the district court having never certified the record.
    Williams, contra.
    This objection was not taken until after this court had heard the cause. A certiorari was then awarded, but never executed. 
    
    ’'Botts. I am driven by Mr. Williams himself to make this motion. I wished to dispense with the certiorari, but he would not agree to it.
    
      
       See monographic note on “Appeal and Error” appended to Hill v. Salem, etc., Turnpike Co., 1 Rob. 263.
    
   Williams then moved for another writ of certiorari; but the court refused it; Judge Roane observing that if the record had been certified by the proper officer, and was suggested to be defective, a certiorari would be proper; but not where the record is not authenticated.' at all.

Supersedeas quashed.
