Head Matter:
Quesnel v. Mussi.
Privilege of freeholder.
A judgment before a justice is sufficient to defeat the privilege of a freeholder.
The defendant being sued by a capias in this action, PEeatly obtained a rule to show cause why the writ should not be quashed, upon proof that the defendant was a freeholder.
Ingersoll and Du Ponceau
opposed the rule, and produced the records of two judgments which had been obtained against the defendant before a justice of the peace, &c.

Opinion:
By the Court.
This is a sufficient ground to defeat the privilege of a freeholder.
Let the rule be discharged.
