    Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
    Dec. Term, 1827.
    Pleading at Law — Name op Plaintiffs — Use of Fium Name.
    The name “Rawlings and Son,” is too uncertain to maintain an action.
    Appeal from a justice of the peace. The judgment of the justice was in favor of “Raw-lings and Son.”
    Mr. Lear, for appellant
    The parties ought to be known. “Rawlings and Son” is too uncertain a description of the plaintiffs. In whose favor shall judgment be entered? Barney v. Washington City [Case No. 1,033].
   THE COURT

(THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, contal)
