Head Matter:
*Felton vs. Weaver.
Trin. 2 Car.
IN error, after errors assigned, the defendant pleaded in nullo est erratum. The record not being fully removed, it was agreed that the plaintiff and the defendant are now estopped from alledging a diminution of record, and no certiorari can be awarded at the suit of the parties: But on the view of Bishop’s case, and other precedents, it was agreed per curiam, that the court may award a certiorari, en officio, ad informand. conscientiam; and then what is so certified, shall be annexed to the record, and called a rider.
But Whitlock, J. thought differently.
And by the advice of Doderidge, J. the party took such a certiorari ex officio, and the judgment was reversed.
