Tomkies v. Walters

10 Va. 44

Opinion

In ejectment the district court gave judgment for the defendant j and the plaintiff appealed to this court. Pending the appeal here, the appellee died; and now Warden, for the appellant, prayed a writ of scire facias against the heirs of the decedent, insisting that there was no difference, in this respect, between an ejectment and any other action.

But the court refused the writ, saying that the plaintiff must bring a new suit.
