rule upon the justices 1.-THE county court of
Orange, where these causes were depend
ing, to shew cause at the next term, why a
MAND ANUS should not go, commanding
them to hear and decide upon the rights of
the parties therein; alledgins that the said
county court had refused to do so, and that
their refusal had been so often repeated,
that it amounted to denial ofjustice.
The Chancellor said, that the motion In
volved in its consequences many weighty
considerations that he was not ready to say
admitting the facts that the court could ex-
ercisc such power; but from the crcum-
stances stated and proved, he would make
the rule, that upon the return of it, the sub
