Opinion

By the Court:

The plaintiff’s right to maintain this action dies with the person of the defendant. The action cannot be revived against his personal representatives, notwithstanding the words of the Statute of Maryland of 1785, chapter 80, section 1, be that no action shall abate by the death of either party, it being the opinion of the Court that the words “no action ” is meant no action that could have been revived at common law.
