1Opinion of the Court
Jewett, Justice.
Motion denied without costs to either party, on the *ground that the suit abated by the death of 0. B. Dyckman on the 2 2d February, 1845 ; it being an action of trespass on lands, the cause of action did not survive to her co-plaintiffs. (2 R. S. 386, § 1.)
Another cause between the same plaintiffs and Amos Bixby, for a like motion, was decided the same.
