Opinion

By the Court,

Savage, Ch. J.

The act of 1794, (1 R. L. 208,) was intended to prevent frauds by forgeries of deeds in the names of the soldiers, and,- in my judgment, has no application to deeds or patents granted by the authority of the state. The plaintiff having a title not passing through Nicholson, but directly from the state to him, is in no way affected by the proceedings on the writ of escheat, A new trial must be granted, costs to abide the event.
