From your friend, ENOCH STEVENSON. The justice took no notice of this plea.
Decided 1811-02-15
¶1It is true, that under our act of [*] Assembly, a challenge of relationship must be tried; but the challenge must state how related, and to whom. It is impossible to tell from this challenge, between whom this relationship was. The justice did right.
