Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Motion granted* The charge is so directly made out, by the affidavits, and the counter affii # s davits are so equivocal or evasive, that we do not think it necessary to award an issue to try the facts; but adjudge the warrant of attorney void, so as to leave the plaintiff to his remedy on the bond, by suit. r •' * 9 J
