Supreme Court of Delaware · Decided October 15, 1818 · Johns
1 Del. Cas. 575
Davis v. Day

Opinion of the Court

Johns, C. J.

In every case of judgment by default on a constable’s return of summons, it ought to appear on some part of the record sent up. We do not mean that it should be made a docket entry, but it should appear there or in some other part of the return. Judgment reversed.

(Vide 1 Str. 140, 2 Str. 1077, that the loss of this record might be supplied by a new entry.)
