is the praftice of the court of chancery to refer it to the

tained, which is the province of a jury. In fuch a cafe 
a writ of inquiry iffues to the Iheriff, who fummons a jury, 
inquires of the damages, and returns to the court the in- 
quifition fo taken, whereupon the plaintiff’s attorney 
taxes colts, and figns final judgment.
