[NOTE. This case seems to have proceeded to judgment, which was for defendants. Plaintiffs excepted to the instructions of the trial judge, and obtained a reversal by the supreme court on writ of error, — see Mayor, etc., of Alexandria v. Patten, 4 Cranch. (8 U. S.) 317; but the above ruling was not involved in the case before the supreme court.]
