Head Matter:
SHELBY vs. YANCY.
In this case there was a demurrer overruled and a writ of enquiry, and now White for the defendant insisted, that the covenant should be produced—This is similar to a writ of enquiry, where proof must be made.
After demurrer over-ruled, and writ of enquiry awarded in covenant, the plaintiff is not bound to produce the covenant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
There is no necessity to produce the covenant nor to make proof of it, for it is admitted by the demurrer.
