Clayton’s Notebook, 56
Supreme Court of Delaware, Kent County.
October, 1815.
Certioraries had issued in this and seven other cases to John Wilds, a justice of the peace, directing him to send up the records of his proceedings in the cases. Wilds died without having made any return.
JOHNS, C. J.
It has been determined that in such cases a writ of certiorari
may be directed to the personal representatives of the deceased justice of the peace commanding them to send up the records of the proceedings before the justice. Let that be done in this case.
NOTE. See Lanquit v. Jones, 1 Str. 87, in which case a rule was granted on the executor of a bishop to return a fieri facias de bonis ecclesiasticis of Jones, the defendant.
