Green & English v. Fry.
    
      Indebitatus assumpsit lies upon the judgment of a justice of the peace.
    Assumpsit for the amount of two judgments given by a justice of the peace in May, 1801.
    
      Mr. A. B. Woodward
    
    offered the warrants and judgments in evidence.
    
      Mr. Baker, for the defendant,
    objected that the action ought to be debt; and that the judgments are not evidence in assumpsit.
    
      Mr. Woodivard, in reply.
    The judgments are not matter of record, and are good consideration for assumpsit.
    CRAnch, J., clearly for the plaintiff.
   At December term, 1803, judgment was rendered for the plaintiff.

Kilty, C. J., doubting. Fitzhugh, J., contra.
