Smith v. Riley
Smith v. Riley
3 Ky. Op. 497; 1869 Ky. LEXIS 495
Smith v. Riley
Opinion of the Court
Opinion of the Court by
The more summary record of revivor presented by the Code of of Practice does not, as often adjudged, abolish the mere circuitous and sure mode of petition according to the common law. The case appearing to have been fully prepared in the common law mode, the circuit court erred in striking it from the docket as unprepared.
Wherefore, the judgment is reversed and the case remanded with instructions to reinstate it on the docket.
