JOHNSON
Mr. Justice MILLER delivered the opinion of the court.
In accordance with the principles settled by this court in the cases of Knox v. Lee, and Parker v. Davis

It is, therefore, ordered that the judgment of the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut be, and the same is hereby, reversed, and the cause remanded to that court for further proceedings
In conformity with this opinion.
