The defendants craved oyer of the bond, and it was granted. -They then craved oyer of the condition ofthe bond, but this was denied by the Court below.

The judgment is reversed’, and the proceedings subsequent to the demand of oyer of the condition of the bond are set aside, with costs. Cause remande.d for further proceedings.
But if over be granted to a party not entitled to it, he cannot assign that for error. 2 Ld. Raym. 970.
