Judge Roane

¶1delivered the court’s opinion, “ that the said judgment is erroneous in this; that the first two pleas conclude to the country, which might have been cured by the verdict, but that is also erroneous in so much thereof as decides on the first plea of no such record,” which, if properly pleaded, ought to have been decided by the court; also in not finding, on the plea of “wo assets,” the quantum of assets which came to the hands of the intestate of the plaintiffs ; and further, in not finding what *468assets of Henry Anderson, or of Freeman Eppes came to the hands of the plaintiffs in error.
