1793 · United States Circuit Court for the District of North Carolina
1 N.C. 14, 1 Mart. 14

Newman vs. March.

Pasch. 2. Car.

A LEASE was pleaded to have been made by a Dean and Chapter, but the declaration did not shew that they were seized jure collegii, nor what estate they had in the land; and Jermyn took exception to this.

Doderidge, J.

It ought, clearly, to be pleaded what estate they have in the premises, for it may be an estate pur auter vie. Postea, 121 and 211. Poph. 163. Bendl. 159. 1 Roll. 672.
