    Harper, for the Plaintiff in error, contended,
    1. That as it appeared upon the record that the Plaintiff was. an alien enemy, and the Defendant had had no opportunity to plead that fact, this Court ought not to affirm the judgment; and,
    2. That the omission of the names of the jurors, was fatal in as much as it did not appear from the record that it was the verdict of a legal jury.
