Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 15, 1851
62 Mass. 337
Eames v. Prentice

Opinion of the Court

The Court

held, that where the plaintiff counts in trespass quare clcmsum fregit, he cannot support the action by proving a trespass in taking and carrying away goods only; and overruled Sampson v. Henry, 13 Pick. 36, so far as it is opposed to this view. New trial granted.
