The Defendant died pending the action, and a sci. fa.,issued against his heirs, who came in and pleaded the death of the Defendant in abatement. Btper curiam \u2014 Wiihams and Haywood, Justices. \u2014 The acts-for continuing suits on the death of either party, extends only to such cases, where before the act, the executors by a new suit might sue, or be sued after the abatement of the former action, not to those cases where after the abatement by death, no new suit could be maintained by or against them. The intent of the act was to save the expences of an abatement, and the delay consequent upon it; and as ejectment before the act, abated by the death of the Defendant, and could riot be supported against executors or heirs, for the ouster in the lifetime of the deceased, it will abate since the act in the sanie manner as before. The act never meant to subject executors or heirs to actions, which they were not liable to before the act. So the action abated."
