    Simeon Borden, Petitioner, versus Nathan Brown
    Reviews are had only in actions commenced by writ.
    This was a petition for leave to review an action heretofore determined in this Court. Upon the petition being read, it appeared that the former action was a petition for partition of lands, under the statute of 1783, c. 41.
    
      Sproat for the petitioner.
   By the Court.

Reviews are provided only where the original action is commenced by writ. We have had frequent applications of this kind, as well as for reviews, where judgment has been rendered on reports of referees, pursuant to a submission before a justice of the peace under the statute of 1786, c. 21; but we have uniformly refused such applications, on the ground that the laws authorizing reviews do not extend to such cases. The petitioner can take nothing by his petition.
