From Carteret. The negro belonged to George Bell, who died in 1794, after duly'making his will by which lie bequeathed the negro in dispute to his infant grandchildren ; the executors of the will assented to the legacy, and the negro was delivered to the guardian of the infants.
Decided 1824-06-05
Hall, Judge.
¶1
Whether the
scire facias
issued regularly in this, case, or whether the judgment was regularly entered up upon it, this Court cannot enquire. While it continues in force, it is binding upon the parties ; it can only be. reversed by a writ of error ; it has been pronounced by a Court as stable, and as strongly constituted by the Constitution and laws of the country, as the Court we sit in, and it is a Court top of competent jurisdiction.
¶2*28
As to the second objection, it may be observed, that when an execution is returned, it becomes part of the
i'
. - 1 , record of the suit, and a copy of it, when properly authenticated, may as properly be given in evidence as a copy of any other record. I therefore think the rule for a new trial should be discharged.
