'\nIn the progress of this cause it was moved, that the record of the recovery between Streeter and Sanders should be read.\nPer curiam. It may b\u00e9 read to prove that there was a recovery, and the amount of damages, but not to prove that Streeter had title, because Hamilton was not a party, or privy.\nA juror was withdrawn, and the plaintiff\u2019s counsel moved foe leave to add a count, which the court said was necessary, to arrive at the merits, but would not admit the amendment except upon the condition of paying all the costs to this time. He accepted of these terms and made the amendment.",
