    [*] SLOAN against HOLLAND.
    ON CERTIORARI.
    After the trial of the cause before the justice, he, before he rendered judgment, examined one of the witnesses a second time; and this in the absence of the defendant below, and this was assigned for error.
    
      Davenport, for plaintiff.
   By the Court.

Although this appears to have been done without any improper intention on the part of the justice, yet it is error.

Judgment reversed.
