¶1The indictment has not been drawn with accuracy. Though the word disseisivit may be taken to imply a freehold, yet it is not sufficient without shewing what estate the person disseised had. 1 Vent. 306. But the other words in the indictment seem sufficiently to shew that Beach was seized of a freehold estate, according to the authorities cited.
¶2Judgment affirmed.
