Holmead v. Smith

said that this Court had entertained jurisdiction, by certiorari, in forcible entry and detainer in- several cases, and referred to the case of United States v. Donahoo, in this Court, at December term, 1807 (1 Cranch, C. C. 474) ; and the case of the Lord Proprietor v. Brown et al. 1 Har. & McHenry, 428.

The Court (Thruston, J., absent,) quashed the inquisition for uncertainty in the description of the property: “ Tenement or storehouse ” is too vague.
