delivered the opinion of this court.

The only question submitted to the court, is, whether under the circumstances of this case, the scire facias could properly be amended. In principle, this case cannot be distinguished in this respect from the case of Prather’s Terre Tenants vs. Manro, 11 Gill & John. 261, in which the same question was adjudged. The argument in this case has only tended to' strengthen the views there expressed, and we therefore

AFFIRM THE JUDGMENT.
