Head Matter:
[*] HUNT against CLARK and al.
ON CERTIORARI.
The action below was brought on the following state of demand:
There was a jury trial and verdict, and judgment for the plaintiff for $96.53.
The plaintiff in certiorari objected, first, to the competency of the state of demand; and second, to the refusal of the justice to admit testimony to prove that Matthias Clark, one of the plaintiffs below, was part owner of the sloop Mary Gordon.

Opinion:
By the Court.
The state of demand, though not very intelligible, yet it is sufficiently so to show that it is a demand made by the plaintiffs against the captain of a sloop, for the amount of the sales of a sloop load of brick, taken by him to New York, and sold as agent to the plaintiffs, evidenced by a bill rendered; and whether one of the plaintiffs were part owner of the sloop or not, was of no importance, and therefore the evidence properly rejected; the action must be considered as between principal and factor.
Judgment affirmed.
