Cornelius J. Roosevelt v. Daniel Kemper.
    THE plaintiff had in this cause taken an inquest at the last circuit, the judge laying it down as a general rule, that any party might take an inquest, but at his peril.
    
      Harison moved to set aside the inquest on a simple affidavit of merits.
   J>er Curiam.

Whenévcr an inquest is taken, it is at the risk of the plaintiff; and on such an affidavit as the present, must set aside with costs.

N. B. The court seemed to intimate, that counter depositions of a want of merits could not be received, as it would be trying a cause on affidavits.
