Wallace v. Butler
Wallace v. Butler
2 Del. Cas. 198; 1803 Del. LEXIS 12
Opinion of the Court
Justification in this case does not admit the property in plaintiff. Defendant might enter the house, demand the loom and (if not opposed) in a peaceable manner take it away if she had lent it; if it was not her property, defendant was a trespasser in aiding and assisting as a principal. So also if it was taken from the house in a forcible manner though her property.
Verdict for defendant.
