Head Matter:
Respublica versus Campbell.
THIS was an inquisition of Forcible Entry &c. taken before two Justices of Lancaster county. The proceedings being removed by certiorari into this Court, Bradford now moved that they might be quashed; and shewed for cause, that the Defendant is stated in the inquest to have been possessed, but no estate, or term is laid; which, he said, was adjudged to be insufficient in a case of Respublica versus Scott, the Court there observing that Hawkins was express, that an inquisition of Forcible Entry &c. will not lie in the case of a tenant at will.

Opinion:
By the Court:
Let the proceedings be quashed.
