Motion, by the defendant, for a rule on the plaintiff, to give security for costs, on the ground that the plaintiff is a non-resident. The facts admitted were that the plaintiff has a large bookstore in this city, and occasionally resides here during the winter, has a family, and now resides at Philadelphia. His family never has resided here. He has a storekeeper here. The marshal has applied at the store and received' pay for fees regularly. See the Act of Maryland, 1796, c. 43, § 12. \
