McKnight v. Ramsay.
    In an action of debt for an amount large enough to support the jurisdiction of this Court, it is no cause for arrest of judgment that the sum due is reduced by olfsets to a sum for which the Court would not have had original jurisdiction.
    Motion by Mr. Taylor, for the defendant,
    for nonsuit; the sum being less than twenty dollars, and so not within the jurisdiction of this Court.
    
      Mr. Swann, for the plaintiff,
    cited Gross v. Fisher, 3 Wilson, 49. Nonsuit refused.
   Debt. Verdict for the debt in the declaration mentioned to be discharged on payment of 31. 11s. — the plaintiff’s demand being reduced to that sum by offsets.
