Opinion

Bassett, C. J.

It is immaterial who reduced the account to writing; but this account was made too late, it would be a dangerous precedent to allow accounts to be made against people in their graves, and yet I acknowledge this is a hard case.

Johns, J.

This is certainly not an account regularly and fairly kept within the Act of Assembly.

I then directed the clerk to call the jury, and, refusing to answer, suffered a nonsuit.
