Head Matter:
Robbins v. Whitman.
Practice on certiorari.
Where a justice’s judgment is affirmed, on certiorari, execution issues out of the court aboyo, without a remittitur.
This cause was removed by certiorari from one of the justices of the peace for Northumberland county ; and after argument, the judgment of the justice was affirmed.
It then became a question, whether execution could issue out of this court upon the judgment so affirmed.

Opinion:
And it was ruled by the Court, that execution might issue at once, without referring the cause again to the justice ; as that would be a circuitous, inconvenient and unreasonable mode of proceeding.
