RHEA’S LESSEE v. WILLIAMS et al.
    Supreme Court. Sussex.
    March, 1795.
    
      Bayard’s Notebook, 95.
    
    
      Wilson for the defendant
    moved for a nonsuit because no conveyance was shown from Jeremiah Jadwin, the patentee, to-Henry Hooper, who devised the land in 1720 and under whom the-plaintiff claimed.
   Read, C. J.,

said he doubted the power of the Court to grant a. nonsuit; that the practice in England was derived from a particular statute. However, as the defendants might demur to the title if they thought their objection valid, the Court would not interfere in this stage of the business.
