Head Matter:
ENOCH SPRUANCE, use of HENRY PRATT vs. WM. WELDON and WILLIAM REYNOLDS, use of T. FOXWELL.
Judgment entered by a magistrate on a judgment note set aside, the note not being sent up with the record.
Certiorari to Justice Townsend, on a judgment by Justice Fennimoi’e.
The record returned was of a judgment entered on a judgment note; of which no copy was sent up. Diminution was alledged, and the justice returned that no such note could be found among the records of the late Justice Fennimore.
Platt, for plaintiff.
Rodney, for defendant.
Mr. Rodney
excepted that there was no authority for the judgment ; and Mr. Platt argued that the authority would be implied; but

Opinion:
The Court
reversed the judgment, saying that not only the note but the terms of the warrant must be shown to support the judgment. The assignment also must be shown to be such as will justify a suit by the assignee in his own name.
Judgment reversed.
