Layton v. Polk

Layton v. Polk
Supreme Court of Delaware · Decided October 15, 1814
1 Del. Cas. 516

Layton v. Polk

Opinion of the Court

*518These causes came on today together.

Per Curiam.

It appears upon the face of the records that the cause of action was divided in order to recover the money before a Justice of the Peace, the Whole of the demand being above £12, which is not allowable. The proceedings are therefore erroneous.

Ex relatione Mr. Clayton.

Judgments reversed.
