    Hopkins v. Adams.
    An action for the recovery of possession of specific personal property wrongfully detained, against a sole defendant, wholly abates if the defendant dies before verdict or judgment; and the court has no power in such case to order the action to be continued against the personal representatives of the defendant. (Reported in 6 Abb. Pr. R. 361.)
    (At General Term,
    October, 1857.
