Opinion

The. Court

(Duckett, J., absent,)

suffered the commission to issue in the chancery suit, considering it as in aid of the general commission heretofore awarded. But refused it in the common-law case, because the witnesses (residing within one hundred miles) might be summoned to attend this Court personally.

The law of Virginia of 29th November, 1792, § 13, p. 279, was cited by Mr. Youngs, which allows a commission to issue when the witness resides beyond sea, or in a foreign country, or in any other of the United States.
