Head Matter:
Dubosq against The Guardians of the Poor.
Saturday, Dec. 24th.
If the dudgment of a justice of the peace is affirmed in the common pleas, for want of exceptions in time, agreeably to the rules of that court, this court will not hear objections to it.
In Error.
THE record of a judgment against Dubosq, at the suit of the defendants in error, was brought by certiorari from before an alderman, to the common pleas of Philadelphia coun- ty; and no exceptions being filed in writing on or before the first argument day after the return, the judgment was affirmed of course, agreeably to a rule of that court. It was then brought by writ of error to this court, and errors assigned. S.
Levy, for the plaintiff in error, was now proceeding to open the errors, when Phillips
produced the rule of the common pleas, and asked whether the court would hear an argument. Per

Opinion:
Curiam. The
court of common pleas has been much harassed by certioraris to justices of the peace, and it has a perfect right, for the despatch of business, to make such a rule, and to enforce it. After the judgment has been affirmed in con- sequence of the party's neglect, we will not suffer him to dis- turb it here. Judgment
affirmed. Saturday,
