delivered thé opinion of. the, court. This case comes before us on a certificate of division. But, upon inspecting the. record, it appears that the particular point or points upon which the justices of the Circuit Court differed in opinion are not distinctly stated; and the case must therefore bé dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Order.
