1 Del. Cas. 501

Counsel

Ridgely , Miller and Rodney, contra.

Grier v. Brook's Administrators

Opinion of the Court

Bassett, C. J.

The letter is the cause of action. The plaintiff goes for the sum mentioned in it, viz £100, and waives the rest of his claim. See Esp.N.P. 143. The probate should have been produced, because we have no other evidence of a cause of action.

Rodney, J., concurred. Johns, J., gave no opinion, having been of counsel in the case.

Enter nonsuit.

The plaintiff’s counsel prayed a bill of exceptions which was signed by the Court.
