Head Matter:
[†] MORETON against SCROGGY.
OH CERTIORARI.
The cause below had been referred to referees; and the objection to the proceedings below, was, that the justice had not entered on his docket the report of the referees. The justice had referred to the report of the referees in rendering judgment, but had not entered the report on his docket, nor even the substance of it.

Opinion:
By- the Court.
The act requires that the justice enter on his docket, as part of the record in the cause, the report of referees; the correct way is to enter the [499] report at-large. It is not necessary now to determine whether, in case the justice enters the substance of the report, it is sufficient, for in the present case he has not entered the report at all.
Judgment reversed.
