Opinion

Ewing, C. J.

It is the duty of the justice to enter on his docket the names of the plaintiff and defendant. Here the justice has neglected to do so. The initials S. T. may stand for a variety of names as well as that of Samuel Tonkin. It is impossible .to tell from the record what was the name of the deceased person these executors intended to represent.

Judgment reversed.
