Case No. 4,749.

FERRIS et al. v. WILLIAMS.

[1 Cranch, C. C. 281.]¹

Circuit Court, District of Columbia.

Dec Term, 1805.

LEAVE TO AMEND ON PAYMENT OF FULL COSTS.

The writ was to answer to “Ferris & Gil-pin.” The declaration was in blank, as to dates and sums, and was for goods, &c, delivered. The defendant had pleaded non assumpsit, and the statute of limitations, and the plaintiffs had filed a general replication.

Mr. Mason, for the plaintiffs, moved to amend the pleadings, and to reply specially to the plea of limitations, stating that the plaintiffs were beyond the seas (that is, in the state of Delaware.)

Leave was given to the plaintiffs to amend all the proceedings on the payment of full costs to this time.

KILTY, Chief Judge, absent.

[NOTE. Subsequently, judgment was rendered for the plaintiffs on demurrer. Case No. 4,750.]
