The name “ Bawlings and Son,” is too uncertain to maintain an action.
Appeal from a justice of the peace. The judgment of the justice was in favor of “ Rawlings and Son.”
Mr. Lear, for the appellant.
The parties ought to be known. “ Rawlings and Son” is too uncertain a description of the plaintiffs. In whose favor shall judgment be entered ? Barney v. The Corporation, [1 Cranch, C. C. 248.]

Opinion:
The Court (Thruston, J. contrct,) reversed the judgment because the party plaintiff was not named in the proceedings.
