Smith v. Wright

Opinion of the Court

Read, C. J.

(Much irritated.) Did you make these terms?

Witness. The goods were not to be found. I did not know where they were.

Read, C. J.

Were not the goods the sheriff’s? Was it not his duty to exhibit the goods for public sale?

The sale was set aside without argument. Wilson, being plaintiff’s attorney, required that it might be without costs, which the court granted, saying the plaintiff was not to be blamed.
