GRIFFITH v. BRONAUGH.
The act of 1820, ch 161, only gives a new mode of proceeding in certain cases in
place of a proper bill of revivor.
After a decree to account, or a final decree a defendant may revive the suit; but in
general he cannot revive it in any other case.
In an injunction case, it may be ordered, on petition of the defendant, that the repre-
sentatives of the late plaintiff, on a copy of the order being served on them, pro-

February 1829, prayed, that Luke Griffith might be ordered to
appear and cause this suit to be revived, or that the injunction
be dissolved.
