[28] Then was Read the Errors upon the afore Said proceedings filed, as
followes, Vizt,
Henry Hawkins agt Philip Lynes
In a Writt of Error in the Assembly.
(1) It is Error in the Justices of the Provll Court in Reversing the At-
tachmt granted in the County Court because the Record did not Show upon
what Principalls or wherefore the Court did grant the Same and although it
was made appear that the Law was Comply'd with of Attachmts in all points
and that the Debt for which the Attachmt was granted was a due debt under
the hand and Seal of Lynes owned to be due yet because the Record did not
hold forth every particular Circumstance of the Cause and doe more then
Records of Common Law proceedings Ever doe or of their own Nature or
by Law Obliged to doe or any other Records of this Province, in Causes of
Attachmt have formerly done (That is to Show fourth a Copy of Deci: to be
left at the last house) Therefore the Said Prova Court Contrary to the Opin-
ion of the Cheif Judge and Some others reversed the Said Judgmt which was
Error in the Said Provll Court, and agt Law and renders the Office of a Judge
inferior to that of a Jury etc:
(2) Nor is all or any the other Err™ assigned agt the Said County Court
Judmt for the Attachmt Sufficient in Law to Reverse the Same and therefore
the Plant" prayeth that the Said Judgmt of the County Court may be af-
firmed etc: and he to all things Restored etc:
Wm Dent
Whereupon the Errors aforesd being fully argued and Debated upon by
the Attorneys on both Sides, And the Same by the Court here fully heard
and Understood Do Adjudg that the Same are altogether insufficient for
Reversall of the aforesd Jugmt of the Provll Cort; it is therefore considered
by the honrble the Judges of this Court here (to witt) the 19th Day of August
in the 7th Year of the Reign of our Soveraign Lord King William the Third
etc: Annoque Domini 1695 that the Judgmt of the provll Court aforesd (upon
the Writt of Error agt the proceedings and Judgmt of Charles County Court
aforesd there brought) be affirmed and that procedendo hence issue directed
to the Justices of the Said Court accordingly: And it is further Considered
that the Said Philip Lynes Recover agt the Said Henry Hawkins the Summe
of two thousand and twenty pounds of Tobo by the Court here adjudged for
his Costs and Charges in this behalfe laid out and expended and that the
Said Philip Lynes may have thereof Execution.)
