WHITE against CRAMMER.
    
      OS CERTIORARI.
    On the return day of the summons, in the cause below, the defendant did not appear; whereupon the justice, without examining any witness, but on [f] the plaintiff’s producing an execution, which he contended he had paid at the instance of the defendant, and also the production of a paper purporting to be an order, which the plaintiff contended the defendant had become answerable to pay, the justice rendered judgment, as he calls it, by default.
   By the Court.

The judgment cannot be supported. There must be a trial, and that by legal evidence, to justify a judgment.

Judgment reversed.
