    WM. CORTLEYOU against H. CORTLEYOU.
    ON CERTIORARI.
    Judgment for more than the demand, reversed
    it appeared from the transcript of the justice, that the plaintiff below, who is the defendant in certiorari, [*] delivered the justice on account for keeping a negro, §29.75. The cause was tried by jury, who found for the plaintiff below, $30 — and that the justice rendered judgment for that sum. It was assigned for error, that the justice rendered judgment for a sum exceeding in amount, the demand of the plaintiff*; and for this error, the court reversed the judgment.
    
    
      Hardenburgh, for plaintiff.
    
      
       In this case the plaintiff should have remitted the excess, and taken, his judgment for the sum demanded.
