Head Matter:
DANIEL H. LONG, Administrator of E. Long, v. HENRY SPEAR.
Court of Common Pleas.
April, 1796.
Wilson’s Red Book, 104.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
(In their charge.) There is no rule more certain and better established than this, that every plaintiff must have a right to sue at the time of action brought, and here the plaintiff had not.
Notwithstanding, the jury gave a verdict for plaintiff to which defendant agreed not to take exception on my letting him out of jail, for he was surrendered, and paying the costs of this suit.
