      Mr. Bryce
    
    moved for a certiorari to a justice of the peace, to bring up his proceedings against a tenant holding over under the Maryland Act of 1793, c. 43.
    
      Mr. Lamed,
    
    by special permission, stated, that, by the practice in Maryland, a certiorari would be granted in such' a case ; the proceeding under .the statute being considered as a substitute for an action of ejectment.
   The Court,

however, (nem. con.) was of opinion, “ as at present advised,” that it has no power to issue a certiorari in such a ease.
