Head Matter:
Coffin, Executor, v. Tracy.
IN error from a 10 pound court, the defendant relied on the now plaintiff’s having confessed judgment in the inferior tribunal, and, therefore, this case was distinguishable from those, in which the court had determined an executor could not sue before a justice of the peace.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Consent will take away error, but neither that nor confession will give jurisdiction.
N. B. This cause was tried in the court below before the act of the last session.
