      Ou appeal from the decree of Mr. Justice Gantt, at Williamsburgh, Spring Term, 1831.
   O’Neall, J.

The presiding Judge was correct in decreeing for the plaintiff, upon defendant’s failure to answer the interrogatories. This is the settled practice in the summary process jurisdiction ; Walker v. Mathaney, Harp. 187, and the rule in this respect has never been changed. The motion for a new trial is refused.

Johnson, J. and Harper, J. concurred.
