The Judge, in his charge to the Jury, dearly
learned to the side of the Plaintiff, giving it as his
opinion rho his descent was clearly made out ; but
that on the face of the other descent was much doubt
and presumption : that the nearest in descent (run'

fcrenee, but that good proof ought to he given of a
teal descent, which proof he cuuld.nut discern in
the Defendant's case.
Serjeant VAUGHAN here interposed. to refer his
Lordship again to the will of Briggs ; but he would
not hear him.

a verdict fur the Defendant.
