    now moved to amend the declaration and all subsequent proceedings, by inserting a day of demise subsequent to the 16⅛ of January, 1822. He cited 2 Cowen, 515; 4 id. 124, 394; 5 id. 265 ; 18 John. 265; Anth. N. P. Rep. 180; 7 Crunch, 472; 6 Cowen, 360.
    
      G. C. Bronson, contra,
    said the court had never gone so far as to amend a bill of exceptions; or to amend in any particular which should do away the effect of a bill of exceptions. If, however, an amendment is allowed, it should be, on paying the costs of the circuit.
   Curia.

We do not amend the bill of exceptions; but we direct the declaration, and all the other proceedings subsequent, to be amended, on payment of the costs of this motion. As to the bill of exceptions, it will probably be rendered unavailing upon this point, by a return of the amended record to the court of errors.

Motion granted.
