Not in source.

2 U.S. 114 (1790)

2 Dall. 114

OVERSEERS of Coventry, versus CUMMINGS.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

September 1, 1790.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lewis and Todd excepted to the judgment.

Bradford and Serjeant objected to go into the merits of the case.


BY THE COURT: — If the return is false, the Justice is liable to an action, at the instance of the injured party: If he has acted contrary to justice, an information will be granted against him. But in the present state of the business (though we highly disapprove of the interference of a Justice in any matter previously decided by another Justice) we must take the case as stated upon the return, without travelling into the merits of the original question.
