Chambers, 19th April, 1806.

On a rule to show cause, why a writ of prohibition be not granted to the said Henry Putnam, to stay the proceedings of the said justices against him for a forcible entry and detainer, prosecuted by Eliza H. Scoffield• and the parties being heard, a belief was suggested, that a decision had been formerly made by judge Walton, upon the statutes against forcible entries, and in order to give time to search the records for that case, the decision on this motion is for the present postponed.
