JAMES ROWLAND vs. GEORGE HICKMAN.
    A writ of error does not lie to the Court of General Sessions of the Peace and gaol delivery.
    This was a writ of error to the Court of General Sessions of the Peace, in and for Sussex county, in a case of petition, order and return laying out a private road.
    
      Layton, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Cullen, for defendant in error.
    
      Mr. Cullen,
    
    on the first day of the term, at the June term, 1847, moved the court to quash this writ, on the ground that no writ of error lies by the constitution to the Court of General Sessions.
    
      Mr. Layton
    
    opposed the motion, and desired to be heard upon the question.
   The Court,

unanimously, directed that the writ should be quashed, the same having issued improvidently, and not being given by the constitution.
