Opinion of the Court

THE COURT (CRANCH, Chief Judge, con■tra)

was of opinion that the names of the •parties stated in the margin were to be considered as part of the plea, and made important by the special demurrer, and that the titling of the cause in the margin would make a part of the record, and adjudged the plea to be bad.

This decision was, afterwards, at this term, overruled, in the case of Bank of Columbia v. Ott’s Adm’rs, [Case No. 878.]
