By the Court,
We think the court below properly affirmed the judgment of the justice of the peace. The only ground of objection relied on was that the jtistice refused to receive the defendants’ plea, after the case had been -sub
Indeed, it may well be doubted whether any error at all was committed. The case of Pickert vs. Dexter, 12 Wend., 150, relied on by the plaintiff in error, certainly does not show it. It only holds that the justice should allow the defendant to plead if he appears and offers to do so before the plaintiff has closed his proofs. But here the record shows that the case was submitted on the part of the plaintiff before the defendants appeared. But this point.it is unnecessary to determine. For the reasons before stated, the judgment is affirmed with costs.
