Opinion
SEPTEMBER TERM, 1788.
THIS was an inquisition of Forcible Entry c. taken before two Justices of Lancaster county. The proceedings being removed by certiorari into this Court, Bradford now moved that they might be quashed; and shewed for cause, that the Defendant is stated in the inquest to have been possessed, but no estate, or term is laid; which, he said, was adjudged to be insufficient in a case of Respublica versus Scott, the Court there observing that Hawkins was express, that an inquisition of Forcible Entry c. will not lie in the case of a tenant at will.
BY THE COURT: Let the proceedings be quashed.
