* Joseph Otis, Plaintiff in Review, versus Luther Bixby and Others.
    The defendant, in an action of traver, sued a writ of review, and died after it was served: it was holden that his administrator might prosecute the review.
    The original action was trover, in which the present defendants in review were plaintiffs, and recovered judgment against Otis, who gave bond, according to the statute, and sued out his writ of review. After the service of the writ of review, and before its return, the plaintiff in review died. At the return term, William Otis, his administrator, suggested the death on the record, and moved to be admitted to prosecute the review; and the statute of 1788, c. 47, >§> 3, was relied on in support of the motion, which was granted, the defendants in review not opposing.
