These two cases were decided upon the authority of McFadden v. Haley, ante, 96; on motions Jotnew trials,- afteraonsuits, ordered in the district court of Lancaster, held by Bay, J., on the last circuit.

Decided 1802-11-15

¶1The judges were of opinion, that the nonsuits ought to be set aside, and new trials granted. They did not conceive it necessary to determine whether a tenant in common may sue jointly with parceners, in such cases as these, or not. Since admitting it to be so, the defendant must plead it m abatement, if the tenant in common brings his action separately. See Runningt. 94. Co. Litt. 197. 3 Bac. Abr. 218. 1 Salk. 392.

Bay, J.,
