Delaware Court of Common Pleas, 1794

Polk v. Cannon

Polk v. Cannon
Delaware Court of Common Pleas · Decided November 15, 1794
1 Del. Cas. 40
Polk v. Cannon

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

No rule for filling up the blanks shall be allowed in vacation; it must be on motion. You must demur in vacation.

N.B. This is directly the reverse of the practice in the Supreme Court, vide Smith v. Newbold. At this term the Court took off several judgments which were entered, sitting the Court, and declared to Mr. Henry in presence of the rest at the bar, “No judgment for non-compliance with the rules can be taken in term time without motion.”
