Opinion

[*]

Kirkpatrick, C. J.

There are several reasons assigned for the reversal of this judgment. The only one which I think necessary to take notice of is, thgt the action is an action of covenant, when it ought to have been debt; this appears to me a fatal objection • an action of covenant will not lie on bond with a condition to deliver property; it should have been an action of debt.

The other justices concurred.

Judgment reversed.
